Hi all
I'm struggling to learn Japanese while I'm in Japan.
I know a few words and some basic grammar, hiragana is OK but slow, katakana is still shaky.
One of the things I am struggling with is I still don't have an "ear" for the language yet, so I don't catch the words very well.
Is there somewhere I can find a list of common phrase that are used in places like, stations, shops etc. Things like at McDonalds they ask you if you are dining in (I get the kochira bit), what is the full sentence they are saying, and then they ask is there anything else (I think, but I'm just guessing)
This probably sounds silly, but I'm working on function before form, so language for situations is really helpful and will make life that much easier.
Thanks in advance
andy
