Welcome back to the “Tricky Japanese Phrases” series! 🇯🇵✨

In Episode 2, we explore the phrase 「おつかれさま」 (otsukaresama), one of the most common yet tricky expressions in Japanese.

💡 It doesn’t have a direct English translation! Depending on the situation, it can mean:

- “Good job”

- “Thanks for your hard work”

- Or simply “See you!” when leaving friends or coworkers

You’ll hear it at work, after sports, with friends, even in text messages.

Learn how Japanese people actually use it in daily life, and avoid the common mix-ups like confusing it with 「ごちそうさま」! 🍣😂

Perfect for learners who want to sound natural and friendly in Japanese conversations.
