Question
I am attending a short course at a Japanese university. I am going to give a presentation in front of Japanese students at my tutorial.
The presentation is in English but I want to use some Japanese expressions. How should I say “Thank you for listening” at the end of presentation?
Answer by Professional Japanese Teacher
ご清聴(せいちょう)、ありがとうございました。
Goseechoo arigatoogozaimasita.
Thank you for listening.
The above expression is most used. It gives a very formal and professional impression and is often used in speeches, talks, and business presentations. If this phrase is difficult for you to remember, you can also use “ありがとうございました arigatoogozaimashita”. All the best for your presentation!
There are other ways to say “thank you” as well.
