Here's a free intermediate Japanese quiz from the expert teachers at Nihongo-Pro. New quizzes are available every day at several skill levels. Take the Nihongo-Pro quiz challenge every day, from your PC, Mac, smartphone, iPad, iPod, or tablet, and learn Japanese online for free!

This free listening quiz will help you learn how to ask for someone on the telephone and how to respond when that person isn't available.

Two situations are presented: One at a friend's house and another at a business. Listen to both sound clips and see how the word choice and politeness (keigo) differs.

Tip: A lot of Japanese names appear in the dialogs, so you might want to turn on furigana first.

電話(でんわ)相手(あいて)がいなかったら・・・

(じぶん)(はな)したい(あいて)(でんわ)()られないとき、(でんわ)()(ひと)(なん)()いますか  
When you call someone but they can't come to the phone, what do you say to the person who answers the phone?
