    Your Japanese pronunciation is perfect ;)
    As a Japanese I want to add one. If you foreigners have any allergy of food, remember that we say it like "ARERUGEE". If you say "allergy", we never understand it. And you must look up the words of food you have allergy of in Japanese beforehand. Then at restaurants you shuould tell the staff first, "something (food's name in Japanese) ARERUGEE desu". That's the way you survive ;)

    There needs to be more vids like this. Your opening about courtesy and respect and politeness is the whole reason I want to at least get some basics for travelling. I’m 50, male, Australian and will be travelling in Japan on my own in late September early October this year. I can’t dedicate 8 hrs a day to learn Japanese but I want to be polite and respectful while travelling and enjoy my holiday. There are a lot of Japanese learning videos available, and it very very easy to get overwhelmed, I would be lying if I said I didn’t get overwhelmed when I was searching. This is the very start of my journey so thank you for sharing this.

  • @yourfunsister
    @yourfunsister 5 лет назад +25

    Hannah!!! We are just back from our 10 day trip to Tokyo, Kyoto, Gion and Osaka! I prepared for 8 months for this trip. I tried to teach my self Hiragana and Katakana (with limited success). Nothing prepared me for getting around Japan as much as your videos. Especially this one. THANK YOU SO MUCH! It seems like such a small thing perhaps to people who speak the language or have cultural familiarity. But this was our first time to Asia and the furthest I have ever been from America. I needed a simple, less daunting teaching method.
    Everything I needed to know was in your vlogs. The only phrases I needed to get around with was in this video and the follow up video you gave us. You were 100% correct. Everyone from adults to teenagers and children were so lovely and polite. They helped us when we were stuck, appreciated when we made an effort to speak Japanese and “a rousing game of charades” can make for a great bit of fun for both parties. I even picked up a few new phrases with the help of the locals.
    I cannot begin to tell you how much fun we had. It was more than a vacation; it was a journey and an adventure. My shins are still sore from all the climbing and walking. Lol. No pain no gain 🤗🤗🤗.
    Thank you again for such an enjoyable vlog. I look forward to seeing more of your adventures. You have inspired me to start my own. Doumo arigatou gozaimasu Hannah!

    2) gochisoo samadesu (respectful way to say “thank you for the meal” at a restaurant or someone’s house before leaving)
    3) sayonara or mata ne (formal/informal “goodbye or see ya later”)

    I can't believe that yourcontents were posted about 5 years ago.
    No multilingual, fluent Japanese-speaking RUclipsr has presented daily Japanese conversation necessary for travelling to Japan in such an easy-to-understand way as you have.
    And your Japanese pronunciation is so beautifully spoken.
    It is easy for me, a Japanese person, to understand.
    Similarly, I thought your English was very easy to listen to, even though you speak fast and in a good tempo.
    I don't think I can say this in the video contents, but maybe Japanese people like to entertain foreigners.
    And I think it is accelerated when they are as beautiful as you are.
    You have been revisiting Japan recently, haven't you?
    We are very happy to have Japan fans like you.

    ゆっくり言ってください --- ikurite kudasai -- is also very useful. Japanese people speak fast and it is hard to understand. If you say ikurite kudasai, you are politely asking them to say (what they are saying) slowly.

    • @user-ke5zy4jz2i
      @user-ke5zy4jz2i 4 года назад

      Actually, the phrase “ゆっくり言ってください” is pronounced yukkuri itte kudasai.
      yukkuri means slowly, itte means speak, and kudasai means please.

    I’m just starting to learn Japanese and I always thought “where is...” had to have “wa” in front of it. Like:

    -eki wa doko desuka
    I don’t know how any grammar works and I’m so confused.

  • @HuyLy94
    @HuyLy94 6 лет назад +1

    One thing I found when travelling Japan, is if an item is foreign or "modern" (eg. western items, processed food, western brands etc) it'll be a loanword so it'll *pronounced* as a Japanised version of the (usually) english name.
    In Japanese the "syllables" in a word almost always consist of either: a consonant in front of a vowel (eg. ko, ni, wa), a vowel by itself, or "n" by itself.
    Almost all the english consonants are used along with all the english vowels: A, I, E, O U (pronounced ah, ee, eh, oh, ou).
    So for example cola becomes "ko-o-ra" and napkin becomes "na-pu-ki-n".
    You can also break down non-loanwords words down this way too to help remember them: eg. "a-ri-ga-to-o" or "su-mi-ma-se-n".
    _I didn't cover everything, there are exceptions to the rule and some kana combinations etc_

    • @Mwoods2272
      @Mwoods2272 6 лет назад

      If a tourist can barely say Arigato, they won't be able to read katakana and she's not teaching the Japanese alphabet just a few words to get by when traveling.

    • @HuyLy94
      @HuyLy94 6 лет назад

      I didn't say anything about reading, what I'm saying is you can usually guess what the katakana word of the item is by taking the english name and adding vowels where necessary so the syllables of the word are broken down into (english) consonants followed by vowels.
