Do you know exactly what to say when you are running late in Japan?Punctuality is strictly observed in Japanese business culture, but unexpected delays happen to everyone! When you realize you won't make it on time, the key is to immediately communicate your current status, your ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival), and apologize appropriately.

In this episode, we will practice:

• Reporting status: いま、まだ　しんじゅくえきです (I'm still at Shinjuku station.)

• Giving ETA: ５ふんほど　おくれます (I'll be about 5 minutes late.)

• Apologizing: おまたせして　もうしわけありません (I apologize for keeping you waiting.)

I’ll train your reflexes with 10 highly practical sentences so you can handle these stressful situations smoothly and maintain your professional trust.

💡 Note: This reflex training series will be compiled into a "Master Phrase List (PDF)" after 10 episodes. Stay tuned for the release!
