Can-do: You can write your full name, nationality, date of birth, and so on on an application form.

Exercise (1): read the sample 申込書 filled in for an event application. Fields A–F match the textbook table: name, nationality, date of birth, address, phone, and email.

Imagine you are filling in your name, contact details, and other information on an application form for an event — follow the textbook example.

In row C (生年月日), notice 年 · 月 · 日: year, month of the year, and day of the month. The sample uses 西暦 (Western calendar): 1995年12月31日.

Your form · 記入

申込書

How to use this form

Type your own information (or made-up practice data). Order matches the textbook: A name → B nationality → C birthday → D address → E phone → F email. Nothing is saved or sent anywhere.

A
名前
Help · 名前 (namae) means "name." On Japanese forms, write family name first, then given name, often with a full-width space between them (e.g. 山田　太郎). If you don't use kanji, katakana is common for non-Japanese names.
B
国籍
Help · 国籍 (kokuseki) is nationality — the country you are from. Many forms use katakanafor country names (タイ, ブラジル, アメリカ). 日本 means "Japan" if that applies.
C
生年月日

Choose one calendar type, then type numbers only in the boxes (the 年・月・日 labels are fixed).

年月日
Help ·

生年月日 (seinengappi) is your date of birth. The textbook shows four calendar styles:

  • 西暦 (seireki) — Western (Gregorian) calendar. Enter the year you use in everyday life (e.g. 1995). This is the easiest choice if you are not used to Japanese eras.
  • 昭和 / 平成 / 令和— Japanese era years. Only use these if you know your birthday in that system; the "year" box is then the era year (e.g. year 7 of Reiwa), not the Western year.

After you pick the calendar type, fill the three boxes: year · month · day. The characters 年 · 月 · 日 mean year, month of the year, and day of the month (same order as the book: 1995年12月31日).

D
住所
Help · 住所 (juusho) is your address. In Japan, lines often start with the postal mark 〒and a 7-digit code (e.g. 〒330-0074), then prefecture, city, and block numbers. If you don't live in Japan, write your home address in a clear way you would use on a real form.
E
電話番号
Help · 電話番号 (denwa bangoo) is your phone number. Japanese mobiles often look like 090-1234-5678 with hyphens; landlines vary by area. Use the format you actually use.
F
メール
Help · メール is your email address, written the usual way with @ and Latin letters (same idea as in English).
