Read workplace notices in Japanese.

10 authentic-style notices you'll encounter in Japanese workplaces — shift schedules, safety requirements, overtime announcements, meeting notices, and more. Read each one, then answer two comprehension questions without looking at the translation.

Reading notices on day one

Japanese workplaces post important information on noticeboards — shift changes, safety rules, payday notices, and meeting announcements. Being able to read these notices independently matters from your first week.

More than vocabulary

This tool is different from vocabulary flashcards. Each passage is a complete notice — the kind you will actually encounter. You read the whole sentence, not just individual words.

How to use this

Read the Japanese text first — use the romaji for pronunciation. Try to understand the meaning before checking the translation. Then answer two questions to confirm your understanding.
