Have you ever been to Japan and gotten stuck? Do you want to go to Japan, but are too scared because you don't know the language? Well, have no fear, this series will definitely help you. This course will bring you essential Japanese that you need to comfortably travel, as well as, provide you with some history and culture behind the words. I really wish I'd had this series before I went to live in Japan. I was thrown into Japanese life without any help, not knowing what to say or how to respond to situations. I probably made many mistakes. But with this Japanese course, you won't be making the same mistakes that I did. You will be able to: Week 1: 1. Train -Learn how to exchange money -Learn how to locate and work the fair adjustment machine -Learn how to ask if a train is going somewhere and the response is on the opposite side -Learn how to know about three of four different train stations - Learn how to find out how to change trains Week 2: 1. Buses -Learn how to buy more than one ticket -How to ask for a receipt -Learn how to ask where something on the train is 1. Allergies -Learn to ask if a food has something on it. -Learn how to tell someone is allergic to certain foods -Learn the foods Week 3: 1. Taking Pictures -Learn how to ask someone to take your picture -Learn how to ask to take a picture with someone 1. Riding a bus -Learn how to tell someone you are looking for a bus stop -Learn about their response -Learn what sides mean Week 4: 1. Bus: -Learn when someone tell you to take the next bus and how to ask -Ask where the next bus station is -Understand what to do with money Week 5: 1. House visit -Learn the proper procedure for when you visit a house A. What foods to bring B. What to say C. How to position your shoes -Learn what to say when you enter a house -Learn what to say when you give them a present -Learn what to say when you leave someone’s house. Plus, as an extra bonus, I will throw in some interesting facts about the words you are learning called Sam's fun facts; something that other courses probably won't mention There is a pre-requisite. You will need to either know the content in the Essential Japanese for Travel Class 1, 2 and 3 or have taken the class.
