So, learning Japanese is what you want to do? Well, this is the right place. I’m going to get you started with some simple things you can use in everyday conversation just in case you’re in Japan looking for a great serving of sushi or maybe a date with a sumo wrestler. . Sit back and we’ll get on teaching you to talk in Japanese.
Let’s start with something very simple. We'll start with saying hello. Let's say you’re answering a phone and want to say hello in Japanese. Simply you would say moshimoshi. At the end of your conversation you would say adiosu, which means goodbye. That takes care of the beginning and the end of the conversation, now we just have to figure out what you’re going to say in between. That’s hard enough to do in most any language. Some people just have a hard enough time figuring out what to say period.
Want to order room service during you’re hotel stay in Japan? You could probably tell them simply that you want food. Unfortunately, there are many of ways to say the word food in
Japanese. For example, if you want to order a bowl of rice you’d say donburi. If you want to order some baby food, you’d say ikujishoku. If you want a piece of devil’s food cake, you would say debiruzufu-doke-ki.
You’re ready to leave your luxurious hotel room and you need a taxi to take you to
the airport. In this case you’d ask for a takushi. For a privately owned taxi cab, the word
to use is kojintakushi. To find where the nearest taxi station is, you would use either the word teishajou or the word teishaba. To give the cab driver a tip, use the word kokorodzuke,
which is the Japanese word for gratuity. There is not a Japanese equivalent for the English word "tip".
You’re probably wondering how one would get this knowledge. There are plenty of websites and blogs online where you can learn some Japanese. In my signature, you’ll find a review of a great resource that will teach you Japanese easily and cheaply, no matter your reason for needing or wanting to learn it.
