I'm going to Japan the summer!

[Danshoku Kotonii]

Yes, yes. I just found out a few days ago. I'm so excited!

So, Sensei, or anyone else who wishes to contribute, can you give me some essential phrases I might need on the days I'm out on the town?

I've got all my basic introductions and such, but I'm not very good at saying a lot else.

ビールを　ください
(Biiru-o kudasai)
I'm pretty sure that's how you order a beer. XD

 

[Kai Shi]

A few things come to mind off the top of my head:

えいごをはなしますか。　eigo wo hanashimasu ka. Do you speak English?

～はどこですか。 ~ wa doko desu ka. Where is ~?

~ください/～にします。 ~kudasai/~ni shimasu. ~please. (This is for ordering things mostly)

すみません. sumimasen. This is your catch all phrase, it can mean excuse me, thank you, sorry and many many more!  

[Nana Shinu Ai]

Hopefully these notes can help you thanks Kai senpai for post these.  

[Starry Starry Fright]

"もういちどおねがいします” - mou ichi do, onegaishimasu - means "one more time, please". You can use it to get someone to repeat what they just said if you didn't catch it.

"わたしはにほんごがうまくありません。ゆっくりはなしてください。” - watashi wa nihongo ga umaku arimasen, yukkuri hanashite kudasai. - My Japanese isn't very good, please speak slowly.

Have fun on your trip!  

[Danshoku Kotonii]

Ah, thanks everybody.

I leave on the 2nd of July.
