Have you ever spoken on the phone in a foreign language?

外国語で電話で話したことがありますか?

It can be challenging, but if you learn some common phrases it can become a lot easier.

難しいかもしれませんが、よく使われるフレーズを覚えれば、かなり楽になります。

 

In this short article we’ll look at taking and leaving phone messages.

この短い記事では、電話メッセージの受け方と残し方について見ていきます。


Taking a message

伝言を受ける

Can I take a message?

伝言を承りましょうか?

 

Or

 

Would you like to leave a message?

伝言を残しますか?


Leaving a message

伝言を残す

Can I leave a message?

伝言をお願いできますか?

 

If the receiver agrees to take a message, you can then leave your message.

相手が伝言を受けることに同意すれば、あなたは伝言を残すことができます。

 

Imagine that you want to let Mr Smith know that the time of tomorrow's meeting has been changed from 3pm to 4pm.

明日の会議の時間が午後3時から午後4時に変更になったことをスミス氏に知らせたいとします。

Can you let Mr Smith know that the time of tomorrow's meeting has been changed from 3pm to 4pm?”
