Japanese - Forms and Paperwork
Lesson 168 of 168
Goal: Signing and filling in simple forms
Free Japanese lessons with guided practice, audio, and speaking support.
Welcome! In this short lesson we'll focus on two very useful phrases when dealing with forms, deliveries, and reception desks. Practice listening, repeating, and using them in a tiny conversation.
Level A1: This lesson (Lesson 168) teaches two polite Japanese phrases you'll hear in Japan when filling forms or receiving deliveries: 「ここに書いてください。」 (Koko ni kaite kudasai.) and 「サインをお願いします。」 (Sain o onegai shimasu.). You'll practice hearing them, repeating them aloud, and using them in short practice questions — a CEFR-aligned, focused mini-lesson for busy learners.
After this lesson you'll be able to:
- Recognize and say 「ここに書いてください。」 (Koko ni kaite kudasai.) — “Please write it here.”
- Recognize and say 「サインをお願いします。」 (Sain o onegai shimasu.) — “Your signature, please.”
- Use these phrases correctly at a reception, on a delivery, or when filling forms.
