This is not, strictly speaking, Japanese-English, but I'm including it because I do hear it come up quite often in my classes.

Examples（例文）

Arbeit is a German word that means "work" or "labor." In Japanese, arubaito means "part-time job." There are several different terms for this kind of job in English, but I believe that "part-time job" is the most common.

Susie got a part-time job at McDonald's.
