Japanese Office Worker’s Day | Easy Japanese Listening N5-N4

Follow a Japanese office worker through an ordinary day, from the alarm clock at 6:30 in the morning to getting ready for bed at night. This Japanese listening and reading practice follows Tanaka through his Monday morning routine, commute, office work, lunch break, afternoon tasks, trip home, convenience-store stop, dinner, and evening routine. Along the way, you’ll hear practical Japanese connected to everyday work: checking email, attending meetings, preparing documents, talking with coworkers and customers, taking breaks, and finishing the workday. The story also includes workplace expressions such as 「おはようございます」「お先に失礼します」 and 「お疲れさま」, together with everyday scenes such as commuting by train and eating a 定食. The Words section reviews 10 expressions taken directly from the story: 目覚まし, 玄関, つり革, 社員証, 会議, 資料, 同僚, 定食, 休憩, and 片づける. After that, you can check your listening comprehension with three questions before listening to the story again at normal speed. Want more one-on-one Japanese speaking practice?
