Survival Japanese That is Actually Useful/Dead Simple

You don't need to know a language so much to get around. I got around Korea with only one Korean word: where. English, she is truly the lingua of my franca.

They opened up a new used bookstore where the old one was? Pretty amazing. I want that XMEN! I'll give you $2 or I'll agree to an ewar.

@Gimmeaflakeman An ewar? It can probably only drive up my subscribers mwa ha ha! More must experience my oddness! Eccentrism and insanity to all!

1, 2, 3, 4! Let's have an ewar!

Oh yeah,

"Chotto ukagaitaikoto ga arun desukedo" is really useful if you want to ask questions.

They should know to say Arigatou gozaimasu after everytimes someone helps them.

Vanawesome and Tessa coming to Japan, they MUST go to multiple neko cafes. Cat lovers. They'd be in heaven.

And... this reminds me of the beginning of an old video o' mine.... back when I used to over-edit stuff...

@ElevenColors This is a totally over-edited video I have made here.

heeeey bro!

i was in japan this past summer (my roommate from university was japanese, finally got to visit her), and i am in luhhh with that country. i wanna move there, but speak very, very little japanese. did you know japanese before moving there? did you learn it on the fly, or in classes, etc?

ALSO, HEY. i was told to say 'suimasen', rather than the 'sumimasen' the old japanese-travel-language book told me to say. is there a reason for the difference? different meaning?

[Degenskonto]

I wonder what they would say about me behind my back... Hmmhmmm Bastards!

[MomokoBishounenLuvxO]

LOL I love how people always say what the first english a japanese person learns is "this is a pen". When my mom first told me I was laughing. XD I mean, out of all things a pen.

Book off　最高！でも、安く買っちゃたらまともに買えなくなるかも。。。ｗ­ｗ

This is a good lesson and true. Don't let your lack of Japanese language skills hold you back from going to Japan. Just go.

Did anyone ever tell you if you "Book-Off" too much you may just go blind?

[yoake2010]

Your english is Help me learn.ありがとう＾＾

でも、通じてるかな～ｗ
