年度末
Japanese fiscal and academic year end
By YAMAMOTO Hiroshi
今週は「年度末」を紹介します。
年度末とは、学校や会計の1年の区切りの日です。日本では3月31日です。
この時期は、会社では、1年間もうかったかどうかが評価される時なので、皆関心を持ち、忙しいです。 また、進学、就職、引越しなど、新しい生活が始まる時期でもあります。
1年の中で、一番不安と期待が入り混じった時期です。

Japanese fiscal and academic year end
This week we look at the 'end of the fiscal year and end of the school year'.
The end of the school year is the day on which the school or accounting year ends. In Japan, this is 31 March.
This is the time when companies evaluate whether or not they had a profitable year's work, so everyone is interested in the reports and busy. It is also the time of year when new lives begin, such as going on to higher education, finding a job or moving house.
This is the time of year when there is the greatest mixture of anxiety and anticipation.

I started teaching Japanese to technical intern trainees and internship students, and since 2019, online Japanese instructor at JOI.
My main focus is on Business Japanese and JLPT grammar (N1,N2.N3) in particular. I am also available for short-term private lessons to improve your business Japanese skills before joining a company, taking an assignment, or changing jobs on your requested schedule.
I worked for a major machine manufacturer for about 40 years. During that time, I was assigned to various departments such as factories, trading, R&D, sales, general affairs, accounting, and auditing. With these experiences, I believe I can provide you with practical assistance in various situations when you are doing business in Japanese.
