Question
I’m attending a business meeting in Japan, and I want to make a good impression. How do I properly say “Thank you for your attention” in Japanese at the conclusion of my presentation?

ご清聴（せいちょう）ありがとうございました。
Goseichou arigatou gozaimashita.
Thank you for your attention.
This phrase is often used at the end of presentations or speeches to thank the audience politely for their time and attention. “Goseichou” means “your attention,” and “arigatou gozaimashita” is a formal way to say “thank you.”
When saying this phrase, it’s customary to give a slight bow, especially in a formal context like a business meeting. This expression is a key part of Japanese business etiquette and helps express gratitude towards those who have listened to your presentation.
