If you are meeting new people, sharing your passions in Japanese is always enjoyable. You can speak about your hobbies and what you like in various ways, but the two easiest ones are the expression to like (\u597d\u304d, suki) and the word hobby (\u8da3\u5473, shumi).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><mark class=\"has-inline-color has-luminous-vivid-orange-color\">\u6599\u7406\u597d\u304d\u3067\u3059\u3002<\/mark><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><em>Ryouri suki desu.<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I like cooking.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><mark class=\"has-inline-color has-luminous-vivid-orange-color\">\u8da3\u5473\u306f\u30b9\u30dd\u30fc\u30c4\u3067\u3059\u3002<\/mark><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><em>Shumi ha supottsu desu.<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>My hobby is sport.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><mark class=\"has-inline-color has-luminous-vivid-orange-color\">\u8da3\u5473\u306f\u6f2b\u753b\u3092\u8aad\u3080\u3053\u3068\u3067\u3059\u3002<\/mark><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><em>Shumi ha manga wo yomu koto desu.<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>My hobby is to read manga.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Final Step: <\/strong>\u3088\u308d\u3057\u304f <strong>Yoroshiku!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We have spoken before of the wonders of the Japanese <a href=\"https:\/\/cotoacademy.com\/yoroshiku-onegaishimasu\/\">yoroshiku onegaishimasu<\/a>, an expression challenging to translate into other languages.

When introducing yourself in Japanese, your manner should be professional and appropriate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Japanese people usually do not shake hands in professional settings, so it is usually best to bow instead. People generally bow once at the beginning and the end of their jikoshoukai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Handshakes are sometimes okay for casual interactions. Make sure to \u201cread the air\u201d of the situation to see if they are appropriate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In many professional settings, it is best to keep your hands at your sides while you talk. Avoid crossing your arms, if possible!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the case of business settings, you might also encounter <a href=\"https:\/\/cotoacademy.com\/exchanging-businesscard-meishi\/\">exchanging business cards<\/a> or meishi \u540d\u523a. Here is what you should do:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Prepare Your Meishi in Advance:<\/strong> Before the meeting, ensure your meishi are in a cardholder and accessible. This shows organization and respect for the person you are meeting.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Present Your Card with Both Hands:<\/strong> Hold your meishi to face the recipient, allowing them to read it easily. Extend it towards them with both hands, typically with the thumb and forefinger of each hand at opposite corners of the card.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Introduce Yourself (Jikoshoukai)<\/strong>: As you present your card, briefly introduce yourself.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Receiving a Meishi:<\/strong> When someone offers you their meishi, accept it with both hands. It is polite to express your gratitude and acknowledge the receipt:<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Review the Meishi:<\/strong> After receiving it, take a moment to look at the card carefully. Show interest and respect for the information provided.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Properly Store the Meishi:<\/strong> After examining it, place it in your cardholder or a respectful location, not in your pants pocket or anywhere informal.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are having a meeting with the person after changing the name card, you should place it on the table on the right or left side during the meeting!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some blogs you can take a look on Japanese manners:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/cotoacademy.com\/japanese-etiquette-and-cultural-norms\/\">Japanese Etiquette and Cultural Norms<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/cotoacademy.com\/manners\/\">Re\uff0d\u308c\u30fc\u793c\u5100\uff08\u308c\u3044\u304e\uff09<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/cotoacademy.com\/ja\/japanese-etiquette\/\">Japanese Etiquette: &#8220;After You&#8221;, \u3069\u3046\u305e\u3001\u304a\u5148\u306b (Douzo Osaki ni)<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Now You Can Introduce Yourself in Japanese!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, you are ready for your very first \u81ea\u5df1\u7d39\u4ecb jikoshoukai!
