Japanese Listening Practice with furigana and Eng. subtitles | Walk and Talk in a Supermarket |

Hi, welcome to Speak Japanese Naturally.
Today, I'll be in a supermarket doing grocery shopping.
You'll see some things that are unique to supermarkets in Yamanashi prefecture.
You'll see a very kind cashier too.
I hope you'll enjoy it.
All the things I say are written in Japanese with furigana and English subtitles.
0:00 Start
1:37 Vegetables and Fruits Section
2:00 About Very Expensive Grapes
3:39 Raw fish section
4:39 Meat section
5:40 "Isshoubin" Wine
7:04 Ice Creams
8:56 Others
10:30 The Cashier
I usually make videos about the Japanese pitch accent.
Japanese is a pitch accent language, so you should imitate the pitch when you practice speaking!
That will help you sound more natural. This channel deals with the Kanto(Tokyo) dialect, which is also standard Japanese and is used in most textbooks and national broadcasts.

I know this is a practice video but I'm mostly sitting here admiring how clean and organized this store is compared to a US store XD

[@DanielleBaylor]

There are clean grocery stores in the US 👀

[@Japchik]

@@DanielleBaylornot always 😂😂😂

[@feyelsbells7839]

i'm so happy you blur out the faces of the others in the store! so thoughtful. i wish privacy was more valued in the US by vloggers. i've had people come into the store i work at and film me unwillingly. so it's nice to see you taking care not to do that. this video was so so helpful!! i loved it and i'll rewatch it again and try to read the japanese subtitles this time! thank you💖

[@nervousbunnygaming]

Yeah meanwhile in america people whip out their phones the second they think an interesting interaction is about to happen and make sure they are filming the person as much as possible 😅😅😅

[@TheSlendermang]

@@nervousbunnygaming It's our constitutional right via the first amendment to be able to film in public and an extension of what our founding fathers fought for in liberty. God bless America.

[@TroublechanJP-jy5um]

​@@TheSlendermangNo its not. People have a right to privacy. Anyway, it's illegal to record people without consent in Japan and you're basically required to blur out faces. You generally have to ask the owner for consent beforehand if you plan on recording inside a privately owned business too.

[@TheSlendermang]

@@TroublechanJP-jy5um I'm not talking about Japan. It is a constitutional US right to film public places and public officials in those public spaces within reason.

[@gracelessg4153]

I know Japan values politeness and customer service, but wow!! The cashier was so incredibly nice!! I think the word here would be 欣快 (kinkai)? I also work as a cashier, but in America, that kind of politeness is very very unusual. It's fascinating how in Japan, formal and professional speech is considered polite, but in America, more casual and friendly speech is polite. If someone spoke to me in America the way that cashier does in Japan, I would be very confused, lol. I worry sometimes that I'll get mixed up with not remembering to use polite speech rather than friendly/familiar speech!

As a complete beginner still, this video was great to listen to every day speech. Also entertaining to see similarities and differences in the supermarket compared to ours. (:

[@lyingcat9022]

This is amazing! ありがとう！ I need stuff like this? I’m trying to immerse myself in the language, spending 98% of my time listening to Japanese. Listening to a Japanese audio book as I type this :) ha. All input at this stage, no output(speaking). The rest of the time I’m memorizing words, Kata and Kanji. But it is hard from me to find Japanese media with Japanese subtitles. Also I’m looking for stuff like this with relevant present day language. Anime is fun but they don’t always speak like average Japanese native people today.

[@SpeakJapaneseNaturally]

Wow, you work hard! I'll make more videos like this. I hope those will help you too :)

[@lyingcat9022]

@@SpeakJapaneseNaturally I think I miss spoke… I meant I’m spending the majority of my STUDY time listening/watching Japanese media. About 2-3 hours a day, broken up throughout the day :) I’m reading some grammar and writing some Kanji. I’m not doing any speaking yet and probably won’t for a few more months.

Excellent video! A nice finish to your shopping by adding Mejii chocolates, which are fantastic (sold in the US, too). One "problem"--I would have bought the grapes, and returned the natto, LOL I didn't know about the popularity of olive oil... Very good filmmaking quality, too, and a very thorough look at a Japanese grocery store.

[@SpeakJapaneseNaturally]

Thank you!! And you found the chocolate!!😁 I was taking too much time choosing that chocolate, so I cut that scene. You don’t like natto?? My kids don’t like it either. It’s good for the health though

[@massvt3821]

@@SpeakJapaneseNaturally Natto looks like baked beans, which is a common side dish in America ( or maybe it used to be). Try to imagine an American taking a spoonful of natto by mistake, and watching his reaction..LOL I do know about the health benefits, but that taste..maybe it's better if you were given it as a child..

[@noctobat]

thanks for this video, it was very nostalgic! i used to love going to the supermarket when i lived in japan, for some reason i found it very relaxing (here i find it quite stressful, haha). i wonder if maybe it has something to do with the sounds and music that they play in japanese supermarkets? しかし1.8L分のワインを一本で買えるなんて、夢のようですね！山梨県に引っ越そうかなw

@@SpeakJapaneseNaturally Hi Fumi-san, I recently came across your channel and I find it really helpful for acquiring Japanese phrases for everyday use. Yes, the suggestion with the labels is a good one. I think it would be also great to use a supermarket visit to teach and practice the cost of the products, i.e. numbers and counters. For instance, which counters are used for different fruits and vegetables, for packs of things, for bottles, flat things, units of measure, etc. That would be very helpful! Thanks in advance!
