Prepare for business situations by identifying the information that drives an action.
The idea
The BJT is a computer-based test of business Japanese communication, with listening, listening-reading and reading tasks. Results use a score and proficiency levels, not JLPT grades. In a message, までに sets a deadline; 変更されました signals a change; 不足 means a shortage.
Examples
- 明日までに資料をお送りください。Please send the materials by tomorrow.
- 会議は三時に変更されました。The meeting has been moved to three o’clock.
- 担当者に納期を確認します。I will confirm the delivery date with the person in charge.
- 在庫が不足しているため、お客様に連絡します。As the stock is insufficient, we will contact the customer.
- 会議の前に内容をご確認いただけますか。Could you check the contents before the meeting?
- お返事が遅くなり、申し訳ございません。I apologise for the delay in my reply.
Read-aloud uses a synthetic Japanese voice available on your device. Voice quality and availability vary; it does not assess your pronunciation.
No Japanese device voice is available. You can still read the text and use the linked listening resources.
Watch out
N2 is this lesson’s difficulty label, not an official BJT level or a conversion from a BJT score. These original written exercises are practice, not official test questions.
