Learn Japanese with JapanesePod101.com! Walking back to your apartment in Japan, you suddenly remember you must make a doctor’s appointment for a physical. Your new employer requires that you take a physical to qualify for the company health and life insurance programs, and you have to get your physical this week. Using your new Japanese cell phone, you call the doctor’s office. You hear the receptionist say in Japanese, “This is the doctor’s office. How can I help you?” You hope your answer is understandable Japanese, “I’d like to make an appointment for a physical. I can come in from eleven to two in the afternoon.” Her answer comes immediately, “Of course, we do many physicals for company insurance programs. In fact, we have one doctor who dedicates half of his day just to giving physicals for school and work starting at twelve in the afternoon and continuing until six in the evening to accommodate people that can’t get off work to get them.” In Japanese, you answer, “Can I come in tomorrow sometime from four to six o’clock?” The helpful receptionist answers in Japanese, “I’m sorry; we’re all booked for tomorrow, but we’re not booked from Monday to Wednesday at that time. Could you come in on one of those days?” “Sure,” you answer in Japanese, “I’ll come in on Monday at six o’clock.”

Learn Japanese with JapanesePod101.com! You’re attempting to train your Japanese co-workers on some new software they’ll need to create reports, but their eyes are glazing over. Maybe it’s just that it’s Monday morning, but you’re pretty sure they aren’t paying attention to a thing you’re saying in Japanese. To wake them up, you decide to engage them in Japanese conversation rather than just talk to them for the next hour. You ask one of your colleagues in Japanese, “Can you tell me how we would generate a sales report from this software?” Your colleague replies in Japanese, “No, not really. Can you tell me how to do it?” You ask the rest of the class in Japanese, “Do any of you know how to run the report?” No one speaks up in Japanese; instead, they all just look down. You inquire further in Japanese, “So that means none of you know how to run the report? Do any of you understand what I’m telling you?”

Learn Japanese with JapanesePod101.com! You wake up in a cold sweat in your Japanese bed. As you wait in the doctor’s waiting room, you become increasingly agitated. Even as a child, your mother always told you in Japanese, “You’re such a bad patient! You need to listen to the doctor’s advice and rest.” Unfortunately, the word “rest” has never been in your Japanese vocabulary, even at an early age. Where most kids always wanted to be sick to miss school, you couldn’t bear the thought of missing your Japanese class. So now when the nurse tells you in Japanese, “Let me take your temperature so we can see what is wrong with you,” you already are convincing yourself that you feel better so you can go to work. When the nurse reads the thermometer, she tells you in Japanese, “Wow, that’s a high fever! You should rest. If you don’t rest, you’ll start feeling worse. Sit still and the doctor will be with you in just a few minutes.” That is not the Japanese advice you wanted to hear!
