 | |  |  | Language: Learn a little Japanese! | Tip Rating:    |  |  | |  |
It can be very scary to come to Japan without speaking any Japanese! (unless you have joined a tour group). I will give you some basic Japanese phrases that I used constantly and found very helpful in my first few months here (and even now). Often you get lost, or are not sure about the transport system, so most of my tips will be about finding the way! 1. (place) wa doko desu ka? (where is ...........) for example if you are trying to find the toilet, train station (eki), bus stop (basu tei), Ginkakuji Temple..etc. Or, you can use this phrase if you are trying to find anything, like a certain food, or restaurant, or item of clothing.) 2. migi = right , hidari = left. 3. kono densha wa (place) ni ikimasu ka? (does this train go to ............?) (densha = train). You can subsitute 'densha' for 'basu'. 4. (place/bus stop you want to go to) no basu wa dore desu ka? (which bus goes to ............?). You can use 'basu' or 'densha'. Leave a Comment

'Oishii, oishii!' = 'Tasty, tasty!' 'Atsui, atsui!' = 'Hot, hot!' 'Samui, samui!' = 'Cold, cold!'(as in weather, not food) People in Kyoto repeat these adjectives twice! This is a Kyoto trait, part of 'Kyoto-ben' (Kyoto-speak). This picture was taken in Gion. Leave a Comment
