Since these are beginner's phrases, it might be handy to have the romanization for people who can't read Japanese yet: 1. Ohayō. Good morning. 2. Sumimasen. Excuse me 3. hai - yes. 4. iie - no. 5. Eki wa doko desu ka? Where is the station? 6. Yoroshiku o-negai shimasu. Please treat me well. (pleased to meet you) 7. Kore wa ikura desu ka? How much is this? 8. O-yasumi nasai. Goodnight. 9. Nan-sai desu ka? How old are you. 10. Dōzo. After you. 11. Wakarimashita. I understand. 12. Wakarimasen. I don't understand. 13. Eigo ga hanasemasu ka? Do you speak English? 14. Jya, mata. See you soon. 15. Domo. Thanks. 16. O-genki desu ka? How are you? 17. Gomen nasai. I'm sorry. 18. Konban wa. Good evening. 19. Konnichi wa. Hello. 20. Hajimemashite. Nice to meet you. 21. O-namae wa? What's your name? 22. Mizu, o-negai shimasu. Water, please. 23. Tasukete kudasai. Help! 24. Arigatō. Thank you. 25. Sayonara. Goodbye. I haven't studied Japanese in a long time, so this was a fun, simple video to watch. Thanks! Edit: corrected typo on "o-negai shimasu" :)

Hey Duckie Bee, thanks for the positive feedback :) it means a lot

[@serialvapist5807]

Ed Moritz When someone teaches you a useless sentence, take the useless part and replace it with something you want to remember. So take これはペンです "this is a pen" and make it これは日本語です（これはにほんごです） "this is Japanese" or even better これは俺の妹です（これはおれのいもうとです）"this is my little sister". I've done that since I started and I still do it now. It helps with Kanji as well if you keep writing the sentence over and over while repeating the words.

I am a native Japanese speaker, and the funny thing I learned while working in a restaurant in Tokyo is that you greet your boss and your co-workers with "Ohayougozaimasu" (Good Morning) regardless of when you start your shift. I just assumed it was general etiquette in the Japanese food services industry.

[@varunsubramanian5484]

BrightBlue1111 does ohayogozaimasu means "very good morning?" since arigato gozaimasu means thankyou very much ???

[@melonsoda123]

Tech Bolt No, it doesn't. Both ohayougozaimasu and arigato gozaimasu are polite/formal forms of Good Morning and Thank You. If you want to say thank you very much politely/formally, you have to say domo arigato gozaimasu.

[@MajiriTadakichi]

BrightBlue1111 I'm barely learning, but I think a lot of words can use gozaimasu to make them polite. Am I right?

[@ttarsi]

One Japanese guy told me once that you are not supposed to say just "Ohayou", cause that's rude. If you wanna keep it short, you can say just "gozaimasu" instead. Can anyone confirm?

Just like "Thongs" in Aussie means "flip flops" and "Thongs" in America is "G-strings" and "rooting" is plumbing, but in Australia "rooting" means "making love"... this world is SO WEIRD!!!! We do say "flip flops" every now n then... but... "Thongs" are our most used word for "flip flops" in Australia... The White here call shoes "Joggers" or "sand-shoes" or just "shoes"... the Aboriginals (the Natives and my people), we all call them "Jinna Boogers" because Jinna means Foot in my Tribe's language... and the shoes look like Boogers so we call them "Jinna Boogers" :) I only know one or two words in my own language... I was never brought up with my dad or in my community to know or learn my language... my mum could probably teach me... but she's been away from the community for a long time... glad she knows some sites, though :) I'm not just Aboriginal, though :) I'm also part Japanese (through dad), British (through mum), Irish (mum), Scottish (dad), Danish and (possibly New Zealand, but not so sure) Romanian (mum's side)...

***** for someone who is just going to japan for holidays, they don't really have the time to learn all the kanji, hiragana, katakana. I think this video was mostly meant for people who want to know just a few phrases for small-talk. Nobody expects to find romanji pretty much ANYWHERE in japan. The purpose of romanji is mainly to help with the pronounciation and you also need it while learning kanji.

[@roberto77suarez]

***** Totally agree! That's exactly what I just wrote, romaji make things easier for us non-japanese speakers to improve our pronunciation and get to know the phonetics of the words and phrases Hope they add romaji to future videos too!

[@CjLingle1]

Romanji would definitely make it easier to be able to better pronounce the word, but learning the some of the different writing styles of Japanese would be good I bet they have a book with the romanji version of a word and the other forms too, to help with the signs in Japan. Also hi Keiko bet you can't guess who I am lol

[@CjLingle1]

Oh whatever lol yea but for english speakers we need to see the letters and not symbols

+Bender Rodriguez Just start to learn it. In my opinion it is generally hard, but there are plenty of resources on the internet to start learning it on your own. Start learning Kana, read some grammar guides and start learning your first Kanji then. It is going to take a while, but especially when watching anime, you can see the progress you have made.

+Bender Rodriguez Same reason why I started learning Japanese. Five years later, BAM! I'm still using English subtitles.

[@handsomepickle9867]

Same reason xD Well, if anyone here is trying to find where to learn Japanese on the internet, I recommend you to learn Hiragana and Katakana on *Memrise* (There's an app and a website :D At first learning Hiragana may be leik mehhh but after a while it ok. You will start really understanding Hiragana and Katakana while learning Kanji and grammar xD Katakana is really easy, you can learn it within a week or even a day.) And after that, you can continue to Kanji and Grammar, which I recommend learning *together*. Learning just Kanji is hard (I couldn't do it) The same with grammar. For Kanji and grammar you can use *FluentU* (an app and a website again ! :D You need to know Hiragana for it.)

I love speaking different languages cuz I want to be a linguist but its annoying cuz I'm in year 8 at school so I speak japanese at school randomly and ppl think I'm trying to be racist which is annoying cuz I want to go to Japan when I'm older so it's better to learn the language sooner than later

[@parkbench3340]

why are you here then?

[@christinejiang801]

xox clarissa xox Hahaha it might happen at times! Me too I sometimes speak random Japanese in the middle of a sentence. But yes..it's better to learn Japanese now than later.

[@MNachman]

I do the same thing but with Hebrew

[@fvn55yearsago57]

xox clarissa xox Same with me dude. I want to move to Japan when I'm older.

[@gurudangadhvi5316]

Dude I don't understand one thing about Japanese people. I downloaded an app called wetalk. And I try to talk with Japanese people who can understand English so I can learn Japanese. Yes I do learn from Duolingo and Japanese pod 101 but for understanding Japanese better. But nobody replied. Like Americans, Brazilians, Africans, Russians and almost all have replied when they know I am trying to know their culture. But Japanese People never replied. Are they shy or Racist because I am an Indian? But really need a guy who knows Japanese well.

[@GameTesterBootCamp]

I love your videos but I wish you guys would slow down the words a little. Take #6 for instance. It's said so fast that it almost sounds like one long word smushed together. It's very difficult to make out the syllables. Other than that, thank you very much for making these. They are very helpful.

[@msdaniq1974]

I agree with the slowing down. I Am very thankful for the videos. I plan on watching them over and over until i get it right!

[@tetsuyalederhouse7507]

Learn the hiragana. If she says it slowly its unnatural then youll speak slowed down also.

[@sanbyar5059]

Breakdown the pronunciation of the words slower

[@trinheiffer1938]

Easy-to-read pronunciation is in the subtitles

[@Ilovelosangeles]

@K. Gray @Trin Heiffer They don't have all of the words in the subtitles. She just said several sentences real quick, & none of them were in the subtitles. She needs to have each word or sentence written "phonetically". They have phonetics on the "learn Korean" part of this site. The guy teaching is great with phonetics on that site.

[@bbroxi3045]

We need romaji or something

[@Ryan_Wiseman]

While I might not be perfect with my hiragana, learn it, because it made this video a lot more easy to follow. Whether that is through memrise or Human Japanese, hiragana really helps especially with beginner words. Most of the time I could understand the subtitles (and the difficult kanji is notated on top with hiragana). Learning Hiragana makes life so much more easy, there are about 50 different characters and basic words such as "oyasumi" and "arigato" are pretty much hiragana.

[@profatlas5079]

I think that hiragana and romaji also kanji is easy but when I do year 10 katakana it looks pretty difficult

[@Nagastakie]

When she had a conversation with herself, I thought "Too fast too fast! Nope! How am I going to learn another language...."

[@DSHndmn]

Those parts can be fast at first but just keep listening, and pause and replay when you need to. Also, if you sound out the individual words she's saying, you'll start to hear and understand easier and faster. If you're not sure what a word means, just pause and look it up. Keep notes on what words mean what and you'll have a huge vocabulary before you know it.

[@leilafarahmoussa]

aww she's pretty and cute, and this helps a lot, thnx! by the way, what does "wo" mean?

[@JapanesePod101]

+Leila Moussa Hello, Thank you for posting. ''wo'' is a particle. Keep studying Japanese with JapanesePod101 Regards, Team JapanesePod101.com

[@leilafarahmoussa]

***** wait but isn't that "o"?

[@leilafarahmoussa]

***** oh really? well thank you! ^_^

[@Sneeze5175]

+karoox +Leila Moussa Actually it can't be both. を is in romaji wo, but can also be pronounced as o. That does not mean you can use を or お in the same situations. Some easy example of the を usage: - 私はりんごを食べます, the english translation would be: I eat an apple. を is used here to put an "action" on the object (which is apple here). This is an more complex sentence: - あなたは本の生活をありますか, the english translation would be: Do you have a book of life? Note: I am not a japanese expert (yet), but this is how I interpreted it.

I'm learning Japanese in my spare time and this really help. ありがと。

[@JaeEnceeti]

It would be easier to remember the phrases if they were also presented in romaji instead of just hearing them though.

[@amberhelmhout516]

true

[@SuperMrVex]

+Jae Enceeti If you are trying to learn Japanese properly, you should avoid romaji like the plague.

[@moriahthompson9404]

+Jae Enceeti I would recommend learning to read hiragana. That way when something is presented, you can pause the video and and read it for yourself...adding it to your memory.

[@klesox7964]

I don't have much of a problem by just hearing them but if your haven't learned kanji yet then I suppose you're right!

[@Tony-112]

This is actually very helpful, I have just started learning Japanese, but I can kinda understand hiragana just not able to translate it that well. Thank you so much!

In the manner of being "somewhat understood" on Japanese, but that is different than understanding it fluently. It takes a while and even learning basic words you still may have trouble with a conversation.
