21 Essential Business Idioms Part 1

『日本で働く、私の日本語』へようこそ！第3回の配信です。

前回の配信では、何かをしてもらったときに「すみません」を「ありがとうございます！」と言い換えるポジティブな魔法のフレーズをご紹介しました。皆さん、職場でさっそく使ってみましたか？

日本のオフィスに少しずつ慣れてくると、今度は先輩や上司に何かをお願いしたり、作った書類を確認してもらったりする場面が増えてきますよね。
そんなとき、先輩の席にいきなり行って「これ見てください！」と言っていませんか？ あるいは、忙しそうだからと声をかけるのを遠慮して、自分の仕事が遅れてしまったりしていませんか？

実は、日本のオフィスで仕事がスムーズにできる人が絶対に欠かさない、相手への「リスペクト（敬意）」を伝えるクッションのような言葉があるんです。

今回は、忙しい先輩の手を止めても嫌な顔をされず、むしろ「よし、今すぐ見てあげるよ！」と喜んで協力してもらえるようになる「話しかけフレーズ」をご紹介します。

日本のビジネス文化でとても大切にされている「相手の時間への配慮」を、この一言でスマートに伝えましょう！

🎧 今回のキーフレーズ：
「お忙しいところ恐れ入りますが、今、少々お時間よろしいでしょうか？」

💼 italkiで「あなた専用のビジネスコミュニケーション」を練習しませんか？

Muchas personas piensan que los españoles somos muy religiosos. Y aunque la mayoría de nuestras fiestas están relacionadas con el catolicismo, las cosas han cambiado un poco en los últimos 50 años. En este episodio comento como han cambiado la perspectiva y la actitud de los españoles hacia la Iglesia y la religión en los últimos años.
