    1) The message means to wait for the English display. Also "tsugi wa shuuten desu" is never actually displayed. It's always combined with the station name. And you'll recognize that (maybe) and you'll know to get off.
    2) A train station map doesn't look like that. And also, train stations seldom have only one toilet. So just go to any staff member and ask them. Or go to the ticket office - they'll know.
    3) Something-somthing from 11 to 5. Look, if the platform is *actually* closed, you wouldn't be able to get there legally, so if you're there now, it's irrelevant.
    4) 25% off a gituar. This notice, again, is not relevant if it's not that day, and especially not if you'd be wise enough to reserve seats (which is free for visitors holding a JRP).
    5) Has absolutely nothing to do with train stations, or any type of public transport for that matter. You could've picked a vaguely useful thing here, but you chose to pick something that visitors couldn't give a monkey's toss about. Probably.
    Anyway, please stop making things up. Your fantasy train stations are not real. It's not good for people to "learn" about train stations this way, esp if they've never been to Japan. You're sketching the wrong ideas for them. If you're reading this, dear first time Japan visitor: it's really easy, there's nothing to worry about, you don't need to learn Japanese to visit Japan. It helps, but it isn't neccesary. Esp not at this so-called "beginner" level.
    Why not cover the IMPORTANT things to understand at a train station? Like "this and this are the unreserved cars", or how to deal with a "wanman train", or how to know where the doors for your train car will be, or how to make a seat reservation. You know, things that are important to get around, things for beginners. Visitors to Japan don't need to bother with this stuff. Not yet anyway.

      This is about learning Japanese not about train stations in Japan. If you ARE looking for videos about train stations then you probably shouldn't be in a channel called *Learn Japanese with **JapanesePod101.com* .

    • @thany3

      Mr Difsh, that's not the point. The point of the video is to learn Japanese to get around train stations. That point was missed by lightyears.
      Yes you can learn some Japanese here, but to what end? These are things you are never going to need, so why bother learning them as a set? It's better to focus at Japanese that you may *actually* encounter (and need) at train stations and on the trains.

    • @MrDifsh
      @MrDifsh 7 лет назад +1

      The point of this video is to (hopefully) make you read Japanese and understand it in a limited time (hence the timer on all the questions) + teaching some vocab. Ultimately, this is about strengthening your reading skills and little to do with actual train stations.

    Could somebody tell me how could I get the old PDF vocabulary files, such as the words used for emergency and others? Thank you.

    Do Japanese people find the 'dere' system offensive?

    Great video but I think for beginners there's too much Kanji.

      anna5749 I thought so too

    • @thany3
      @thany3 7 лет назад +2

      Nothing great about it. Train stations are nothing like this. And also, these are not the things visitors need to know about.

      Right?! Too much kanji for beginners. I did not get one answer right.

      anna5749 the only thing I read was "desu".

      Kanji is not the problem, it's vocabulary.

    I didn't recognize most of those kanji. I don't see how this was a beginner's reading challenge. How many kanji should a person know before they could identify the kanji in these examples?

  • @fiverareblanks
    @fiverareblanks 7 лет назад +2

    can you put hiragana on top of all the kanji?

    • @nitrogenjutsu5178
      @nitrogenjutsu5178 7 лет назад

      AEgis well yes, but Kanji is supposed to be made for spacing out Lot of Hiragana in order to know when the sentences stops in hiragana, Kanji can also mean definitions or like I mentioned before it helps to space out things.

    • @fiverareblanks
      @fiverareblanks 7 лет назад

      well, its kind of impossible to read the kanji without any background, so having some reference point would be nice.

    Japan, please help America with the Hyperloop. It's too hard to buy and own a car and regularly travel in this country. Japan Rail is so incredibly convenient!

    • @thany3
      @thany3 7 лет назад

      The hyperloop won't ever work in practice. It's a pipe dream (literally).

    I was getting them right until the last two. The kanji is too difficult for most beginners.
