A great video. I knew about 50% of these, and wish I'd known the other 50%. The only thing I would add is " Kore wa Ikura desu ka?" How much is this. Japanese businesses are pretty good about displaying prices, but not always. Life get's easier when you know and understand basic Japanese words and phrases.

@twifosp Месяц назад

What an awesome video. I was looking for something like this before my trip last month. There are a few sort of okay videos, that focus on tourist phrases, but I think this was much better than the rest. I tried to learn a little (Duolingo, etc.) before coming, but really, I didn't need to know any Japanese. I mainly want to know a little to respect their language and culture, but knowing a bunch of words I'll never use is less helpful than a handful of words I'll use frequently. I'll practice these for next time.

@NinjaMonkeyguy Месяц назад

Although there is so much more that could be learned, I honestly think these are very useful!

@StormbringerT54 Месяц назад

Could’ve done with some of those a few weeks ago! 😂 just returned a few days ago from a 3 week trip, I knew some, but forgot them in anxiety and others were new. But I was able to understand what they were talking about, many do understand your English but unsure what to say back except basic words.

@NinjaMonkeyguy Месяц назад

yea understanding and speaking.. two different things :)

@estrafalario5612 24 дня назад

11:35 (1) it's a really good point making the distinction with the two possible questions. Another point I listened to in another video: let's use really simplified English (almost broken) if they say that they just speak "a little". Of course this goes with any "Native vs. Foreigner language interaction". That #1 tip goes in clear contradiction to the tip of your friend at 4:35, leading to the... "So they think that you speak Japanese better than you really do". That's one of the last things you want to while speaking a very very basic level of a language. What you really want is to make them understand that you may understand many very simple standard sentences or single words but clearly NOT complete paragraphs...the opposite creates frustration on both sides.

@NinjaMonkeyguy 24 дня назад

This is true, frustrations can happen easily

@theknightswhosay Месяц назад

10:58 After a suitable greeting, I prefer to ask in English. They’ll usually slightly smile and say something like “a little bit” and then understand you just fine as long as you’re asking a normal tourist or shopper question. I didn’t try to ask about quantum physics. But it’s much less off-putting than just speaking English to them and assuming they understand.

In Japanese, the reason you cannot always use the basic numeral counters like "ichi" (one), "ni" (two), "san" (three), etc., directly with nouns is due to the language's system of "counters" or "classifiers." These counters are suffixes used after the number to indicate the type of object being counted, and they provide context about the category to which the object belongs. Although I'm sure you would be understood, you normally wouldn't need to order more than 4 things so simply learning the first 4 counters goes a long way

@arthurdanielles4784 12 дней назад

When I was in the far east - on a regular basis, I used to adopt the CARD system. You put on them the most common phrases etc and instead of trying to get them to understand you vocally.. just show them the relevant card! IT WORKED 90% of the time. ALSO stop thinking that you have to make full sentences etc KEEP your requests/queries SIMPLE! Can I have somefried chicken with rice ... NOO Please, fried chicken, rice.in THEIR language and that included certain symbols to make things short, sweet and SIMPLE. Most local people have short names for what they order on a regular basis NOT over CONVULUTED !!

Challenges common to immigrants from all countries. It is natural to strictly abide by the laws, customs, and manners of a foreign country. When spending time in a foreign country, it is sometimes important to let go of your personal preferences and religious values. Please prepare a translation app for the language of your destination. Currently in Japan, troubles caused by Kurdish refugees have become a social problem. They are trying to impose their rules on Japan, just like the US government. If such things increase, we can only see a future in which strict restrictions and laws are imposed on refugees, immigrants, and travelers.
