How to Say ‘We’ll give it to you in the teachers’ office.’ in Japanese

職員室でお渡しします。

shokuin shitsu de o watashi shi masu

[shoh-koo-een shee-tsu deh oh wah-tah-shee shee mahss]

💬 Usage Tip: Very natural staff phrasing. [〜で] sets the location, and [お渡しします] is polite. You can reply: [わかりました。ありがとうございます。]

🇯🇵 In Japan: Schools often specify the exact handover point for safety and organization; [職員室でお渡しします] is a standard instruction.

What Learners Are Saying

Teaching in Osaka and I wanted to connect with my students beyond the classroom. The everyday conversation scenarios made my Japanese feel natural, not textbook-y.

Mia S., 25, English Teacher

Moved to Tokyo and the polite vs. casual speech levels were killing me. This app breaks it all down with real scenarios. My coworkers noticed the difference in weeks.

Kevin Z., 31, Game Developer

I tried five different apps before this one. The roleplay conversations are what finally made things click. I actually remember what I learn now.
