[✐4.Allegretto, 5.Allegro] 電話(でんわ)の日本語(にほんご) - Private, Office: receive a call
“I will call you back as soon as I get back.”
[00:07]
Hello, everyone. How are you doing? Today, we will practice phrases for phone call. Honestly, I’m not really comfortable with talking on the phone. Especially when there is an unexpected private call, I get nervous and check the number… thinking who would it be? what would it be? etc.….
Nowadays, most things can be done online, so you may not have many opportunities to talk on the phone. Having said that, it’s still a means of communication. You lose nothing by practicing.

みなさん、こんにちは。お元気(げんき)ですか。
きょうは電話(でんわ)で使(つか)う日本語(にほんご)を練習(れんしゅう)します。実(じつ)は私(わたし)は電話(でんわ)で話(はな)すのがどうも苦手(にがて)です。特(とく)に、プライベートで突然(とつぜん)、電話(でんわ)がくると、どきどきして、番号(ばんごう)を確認(かくにん)します。誰(だれ)だろう?知(し)ってる人(ひと)?何(なん)の用事(ようじ)?とか、ね。
今(いま)は何(なん)でもネットで済(す)むので、あまり電話(でんわ)する機会(きかい)がないかもしれませんが、そうはいっても、まだコミュニケーション手段(しゅだん)の一(ひと)つです。練習(れんしゅう)しておきましょう。
