Why business Japanese needs repeated recall

Business Japanese is mostly vocabulary you have to produce under pressure: keigo verb forms, email openers, and the set phrases used in meetings. business Japanese flashcards suit this well because spaced repetition brings back each phrase just before you would forget it.

What is 稟議 (ringi)?A consensus-based approval process in which a proposal circulates among departments for written, stamped approval.

What is the humble verb 伺う (ukagau) used for?Speaking humbly about your own visit or question to a client or superior, as in 伺います (ukagaimasu), “I will visit” or “I will ask.”

Generate the full set

Built from your material

Upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain notes or photos of pages. Text recognition reads the Japanese and English in your handouts.

Spaced repetition

Cards you miss come back sooner, and cards you know move to longer intervals, so practice time goes to the phrases you are likely to forget.

Browser study on any device

Study in the browser on the Free plan. Plus adds exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV for printing or other apps.

How it works

Upload your files

Add the business Japanese lesson, glossary or slides you already have, or photograph a page from a textbook.

Review the generated cards

Check the fronts and backs, edit anything that does not match your course, and keep the cards you want.

Study on a schedule

Work through your due cards each day. The spacing adjusts based on how well you recall each one.

Start with the material you already have. A lesson handout, a glossary from a class, or a set of slides from a work-related course can become a deck in one upload. Keep the cards focused on one situation at a time, such as writing emails, answering the phone, or running a meeting, so related phrases are reviewed together.

Review in short daily sessions rather than one long cram. Say each answer aloud before you flip the card, and when you miss one, note the context where it appears in your source material so the meaning sticks.

Frequently asked questions

How many business Japanese flashcards should I make before a meeting?

A focused deck of 30 to 50 cards on one situation, such as a client call or a presentation, is usually enough to review in a week. Quality matters more than quantity, so cut any card whose meaning you cannot explain in your own words.

What should a business Japanese flashcard front and back contain?

The front should show the Japanese phrase or term, or a short English situation such as declining a request. The back should give the reading, the English meaning, and one example sentence, which helps you remember how the phrase is used.
