In this episode, we explore the unique language and customs you'll encounter when dining out in Japan. From ordering your food to understanding the menu and interacting with the staff, we've got you covered.
We'll start by introducing some essential Japanese vocabulary for ordering food, such as "teishoku" for set meals and "ohiya" for cold water. We'll also delve into some commonly used phrases like "arigato gozaimasu" to thank your waiter, and "sumimasen" to get their attention.
welcome!
Today’s theme is “Everyday Life”. I have briefly described my normal day. As I mentioned in my self-introduction episode, I usually work for an IT company in Tokyo. My free time is in the morning, so I found myself becoming a morning person. Again, I have put hiragana and romaji on the script, as well as words and phrases I used in the episode.
Check the website for words and phrases. You can also find the script with translation.
You can find the script with romaji and hiragana on Youtube
