Subject: 【〇〇 Project】進捗ご報告と今後のご相談

田中様

いつも大変お世話になっております。
〇〇プロジェクトの進捗状況につきまして、ご報告させていただきます。
現在、フェーズ1は完了いたしました。しかしながら、システム上の問題により、一部遅延が発生しております。
今後の進め方についてご相談させていただきたく、来週中に一度お話しするお時間をいただけますでしょうか。
私の都合の良い日時としましては、来週月曜日の午後、または水曜日の午前中でございます。
その他の日時でも調整可能でございますので、ご都合の良い日時をご連絡いただけますと幸いです。
引き続き、どうぞよろしくお願いいたします。
山田

Improvements (English)

  • Subject line revised to be more specific and considerate.
  • Appropriate use of honorifics and humble language (“お目にかかりました” vs. “会いました”) adds proper business etiquette.
  • Changed direct phrases like “want to talk” to more formal and natural expressions like “would like to discuss and ask for your time.”
  • Softened requests from “Please reply” to “We would appreciate it if you could contact us” (“ご連絡いただけますと幸いです”).
  • Polite closing remarks appropriate for Japanese business culture were added (“引き続き、どうぞよろしくお願いいたします”).

改善点 (Japanese)

  • 件名をより具体的かつ相手に配慮した表現に変更。
  • 丁寧語や謙譲語を適切に使い分け、ビジネスにおける礼儀正しさを加味。
  • 「話したいです」を「ご相談させていただきたく、お時間をいただけますでしょうか」に変更するなど、よりフォーマルで自然な言い回しに修正。
  • 「返事をください」ではなく「ご連絡いただけますと幸いです」のように、相手に選択肢を与えつつ、丁寧にお願いする表現に統一。
  • 結びの言葉を日本のビジネス慣習に合った「引き続き、どうぞよろしくお願いいたします」で締めくくることで、相手との関係性を考慮した完璧なメールに。

2. Business Japanese Intensive Lessons

We provide one-on-one intensive instruction in Japanese skills essential for real-world business scenarios, such as negotiations, meetings, presentations, and email writing. Through practical role-playing and case studies, you will gain the confidence to communicate smoothly and effectively in Japanese. We cover a wide range of topics, including honorifics, negotiation tactics, and cultural etiquette, customized to your specific needs.

Sample Example: Business Conversation Lesson

Situation: Reporting to your manager after a phone conference with a Japanese client.
Before Lesson (Student’s Assumed Dialogue) 
Student: "Manager, I spoke with Mr. Sato on the phone earlier. He said the new plan is impossible. He said the budget is not enough."
After Lesson (Through Your Guidance, More Natural & Appropriate Japanese) 
Student: 「部長、お疲れ様です。先ほど佐藤様と電話でお話しいたしました。新しい企画案につきましては、現在のところ、予算の兼ね合いで難しいとのことでございました。」

Key Points (English)

  • Natural Opening: Added a common greeting like “Otsukaresama desu” (Good work today/Thank you for your hard work) to naturally initiate the conversation.
  • Appropriate Humble Language: Changed “spoke” to “o-hanashi itashimashita” (the humble form of “to speak”), showing respect to the client and indirect respect to the manager.
  • Softer Expression: Avoided a direct phrase like “said it’s impossible,” opting instead for a more polite and indirect expression like “muzukashii tono koto de gozaimashita” (“he mentioned that it is difficult”).
  • Buffer Phrases: Used “yosan no kaneai de” (due to budget considerations) as a buffer phrase before stating the reason, making the communication smoother and more refined.

ポイント (Japanese)

  • 自然な導入: 「お疲れ様です」といった、会話を始める際の自然な挨拶を追加。
  • 適切な敬語: 「話しました」を「お話しいたしました」に変更し、相手への敬意を示す謙譲語を使用。
  • やわらかい表現: 「無理だと言いました」のような直接的な表現を避け、「難しいとのことでございました」といった、相手に配慮しつつ事実を伝える丁寧な言い回しに修正。
  • クッション言葉: 「予算が足りないそうです」を「予算の兼ね合いで」のように、直接的な原因を伝える前にクッション言葉を用いることで、よりスムーズで洗練された表現に。
