Learn Japanese with JapanesePod101.com! “Hello, I thought you were coming to work today?” “No, sorry, boss. I’m taking the day off. I’m sick.” “Are you sure you’re sick? You don’t sound sick to me.” “I am. I have the flu.” Have you been making excuses for not coming in to work? Does your telephone suddenly develop mysterious problems whenever you talk to your boss? You need better excuses. You need a list of diseases and ailments that sound really bad but don’t last long. Maybe twenty-four hour typhoid, or acute intermittent leprosy, which only occurs on Mondays, or anaphylactic malaria, which can be cured only by taking Friday afternoon off. No, this Japanese lesson won’t help you to find better excuses to get out of working while you’re in Japan. However, you’ll be able to explain them on the phone, coughing and hacking of course, to your boss in much better Japanese when they do occur.
