- The one thing people worry about the most before travelling to Japan is the language. Not everyone can speak English in Japan but fear not - by these phrases alone you'll get by without any worries!

Rahma world more like gozaimas. 😊
Arigato (hahahaahhahahahahaahhaahahxhgdhjrjfjxufjdhdhshsrjduc)
Your Japanese pronunciation is perfect ;)
As a Japanese I want to add one. If you foreigners have any allergy of food, remember that we say it like "ARERUGEE". If you say "allergy", we never understand it. And you must look up the words of food you have allergy of in Japanese beforehand. Then at restaurants you shuould tell the staff first, "something (food's name in Japanese) ARERUGEE desu". That's the way you survive ;)
That’s super helpful! Thanks for that!
My pleasure. I edited and shortened it ;)
That's really useful! Similarly in S. Korea I know they say Al-lu-gee which is very useful to know in both languages!
中あたる ah naruhodo.. arigatou
(sorry I don't have japanese keyboard )
I'm Anaphalyic to peanuts and I really want go to Japan but i am trying to learn the language fluently because of my allergie.
It's all fun until they reply in Japanese and you have no idea what they're talking about lol
Bahaari TV this one was funny
Just say (I think this is how you write it in English) : Wakarimasen (I don’t understand) or Eigo ga hanasemasu ka? (Do you speak English?)
lol so true
I get that response all the time😅. I spoke to my japanese teacher for practice and my face and mind went into another world🤣
こんな感じで話しかけて来られても解らないよね〜
漢字、カタカナ、ひらがなもあるし。読み方多いし。
でも大丈夫、僕たちも英語のコメントは半分ぐらいしか理解できない。習ってるのに。
So from this video I've basically learnt to do the following in pretty much all situations:
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
That works only for woman.
Lmfaoooooooooooo
There's no way in hell I'm holding my hands up and tilting my body for every question lol
learnt?
@@coopstripes Yes Greg, 'learnt'. I presume you are American. I speak English, which came before American English. Maybe do a Google first before commenting.
If you guys ask something to Japanese in English while traveling , please speak slowly
We can understand English but we don’t get used to listen the native English speed
Listening to Japanese and Spanish speakers its too fast for me to decipher much alot of the time
I love you. Thanks!
Thanks for your suggestion. Next time when i visit Japan i will follow yr instructions.
Arigato gozaimas for the info! 👍
I think most of the asians can understand English but, foreigners need to slow it down.
well I can speak some japanese, but when people answer I just awkwardly nod and smile because idk what they're saying hhhh
thats what i was thinking... like you can know alot of words and questions but when they do understand you and answer id be like mmmm could you please say it reaaaally slowly? xd
SlimyZombie glad I'm not the only one
happen to me all the time.
Well, next time, when you speak with any Japanese and u can't understand pl tell them : Yukkeeree hanashite kudaasai.
You need more Japanese media intake.
あなたの英語はとても聞き取りやすいので英語の勉強になります!!
Your Japanease pronounce is perfect!(^-^)
Thanks_(._.)_
I also did some Japanese Traveling Phrases, I hope it helps: czcams.com/video/qmj4pa2sPvc/video.html
not really, sounds like gaijin to me. which doesnt matter.
@@CandiOsaka DIdn't work
@@olekristoffer3896 Hello! I recently just deleted that traveling phrases video because i noticed it was not that good compared with other native speakers lol !
HOW ABOUT "COMMON RESPONSES TO THE COMMON QUESTIONS" because if i ask in japanese, they are going to respond in japanese.
Lol
Yes!!!!!
yea right hahaha
I’m learning Japanese because I’m planning to go to Japan in a couple years. Because I’m pretty young (12) I wanted to start learning languages now so I can travel around the world.
These types of videos really inspire me to keep going because I realise everything is linked ^^
Arigato gozaimas 🙏
I started learning when I was 12 but fell out of it and no im trying to pick it back up. (I'm 14 now) AND I SUCK
Izzy Fitzsimon don’t let others put you down or mock you. People will most likely laugh or try to make you feel ashamed for learning a language. (In my personal experience) Just ignore them. The younger you start the easier and quicker you will have stuff done. ganbatte kudasai !
Good luck boy! We are always welcome you
Good for you! I have few regrets in my life, but one of those is definitely not learning more languages earlier in my life! :-)
応援してます。
凄い、日本語がじょうずですよ、誠にありがとうございました
Wow! Your Japanese is perfect. Thank you very much!
I m japanese and you epronounced japanese very very well and explain very good!!! good job and keep it going!
I've been living in Japan for almost a year and this is the most helpful video I've seen! I get so nervous and overwhelmed when people speak Japanese to me and this is a great way to begin learning phrases that are very basic and can be used every day. Thank you!
I’m so in love with Japan and its culture but I’m pretty young (15) and want to travel there with some adults but I live in a small rural town in Australia so I can’t find people who have already been there to travel with :( very helpful video though
Did u know I'm Bob ross take some extra time to save and learn more about the country. By the time you’re 17-18 you’ll be able to spend more time there experiencing Japan and enjoy meeting new people and experiencing things without anyone trying to chaperone you. 🙂
Good luck getting to Japan, see you there 🇯🇵
Awesome short and useful video!!! Thanks!
I'm very appreciated with your teaching. Thanks.
Thank you for this video. I agree it helps to show respect when you travel by learning some of the language.
This will save my life for sure, definitely going to use this when i go! Thank youuuuu!
This video, and the rest of Hannah's Japan videos, were SO helpful in getting us ready for our first visit to the country. I can't recommend them highly enough. Thanks!
Hannah, what a great list! Phrases that often don't pop up on these lists, but super useful! Thank you so much!
I just got back from my third trip to Japan and all this video was incredibly helpful! Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video! I just got back from Okinawa, and I used everything you covered. It was soooo helpful!
Great video Hannah, super helpful and concise
Thank you very much for this. I'm visiting in March. I can't wait!
Really helpful We are off to Japan in April 19 Thanks for the tips
発音がこんなに綺麗な外国人さん初めて💓
Coming back to this video after years, still a very good and useful refreshing short course
Thank you so much for this video. My husband and I are currently in Japan, and the phrases you taught us have been incredibly helpful
This is very useful for ppl who cannot speak Japanese but still want to travel to Japan. Big thumb to it. Thx a lot.
I’m Japanese. I think your Japanese is very beautiful!!! and, This video is very useful for a trip to Japan because almost all of communication for travel can do with using these introduced words!!!
Please enjoy Japan!!!!
Arigato Gozaimas! Thanks for giving these helpful phrases and the context they're used in.
Great video. Easy to watch and understand! I'm off to Japan tomorrow and will try to use these!
I want to visit Japan so badly! It's on my bucket list. This video was very helpful and the way you explained the phrases made it more comprehensive and easier to retain. Arigato gozaimas!
Very helpful and very nice presentation. Your voice and approach were excellent. Made learning something new less nerve racking.
The little lights in the background were a nice touch and your music touch made it very professional.Nicely Done.
I really enjoy watching your video.looking forward to your next one.
Very compact yet practical :D
Thank you so much!
Hannah!!! We are just back from our 10 day trip to Tokyo, Kyoto, Gion and Osaka! I prepared for 8 months for this trip. I tried to teach my self Hiragana and Katakana (with limited success). Nothing prepared me for getting around Japan as much as your videos. Especially this one. THANK YOU SO MUCH! It seems like such a small thing perhaps to people who speak the language or have cultural familiarity. But this was our first time to Asia and the furthest I have ever been from America. I needed a simple, less daunting teaching method.
Everything I needed to know was in your vlogs. The only phrases I needed to get around with was in this video and the follow up video you gave us. You were 100% correct. Everyone from adults to teenagers and children were so lovely and polite. They helped us when we were stuck, appreciated when we made an effort to speak Japanese and “a rousing game of charades” can make for a great bit of fun for both parties. I even picked up a few new phrases with the help of the locals.
I cannot begin to tell you how much fun we had. It was more than a vacation; it was a journey and an adventure. My shins are still sore from all the climbing and walking. Lol. No pain no gain 🤗🤗🤗.
Thank you again for such an enjoyable vlog. I look forward to seeing more of your adventures. You have inspired me to start my own. Doumo arigatou gozaimasu Hannah!
I love your videos! Keep up the great work :)
Very informative and thanks for slowing down the pronunciations. Made it easy to understand as well on the on screen text.
You’re terrific! Thanks very much for the charming lesson. I’ll be looking for the follow up.
Thank you for making this video ! We used it to learn all of the phrases and our trip went so much smoother that we imagined. The Japanese people REALLY appreciated that we had learned some Japanese ! Especially, “Thank you Vey Much” ! Here’s wishing you success in all your video posts ! You are a real sweetheart !
Thanks for such an awesome video ! We are going to Japan in 12 days so it's great to have a few phrases so I dont feel rude 😊💖
Awesome and you make it very easy to understand .
Thanks for the clear and concise explanations!
I can't wait to go to Japan! I Love ❤️ ❤️❤️❤️JAPAN!!!! Love from Malaysia!😀😍👍
You're so cute CZcamsr! I'm Japanese so I know everything which you say but I'm always enjoying your videos. These videos are really helpful for my English! Keep going!
Here is some advice if you are still learning English. The word cute is commonly used in a romantic way.
Krazyy is "pretty" better in this case？
@@itsmekrazyy it's not really, cute can be used in a lot of ways
@@synbiostael yah I think they meant like baby faced kinda cute. p.s I know I can't spell.
@@itsmekrazyy not really people call other people cute all the time without it being flirting, it's just a compliment and some times meant to condescend
Thank you so much for this video. These phrases came in so helpful on my first business trip to Japan.
Very helpful video. I am flying to Japan on Monday and trying to brush up on useful travel phrases. Thanks!
Love this ☺️💕 thank you for making this video. I’m going to visit Japan in spring 2019.
welcome to japan🇯🇵🗾
Diana Of Markham let me know how much you spend please I been trying to figure out how much to save
Thank you I’m travelling to Japan in May.
Thank you @Currently Hannah. Arigatou gozai masu.
Wonderful, concise and well explained important phrases! Terrific video lesson.
Keep making these awesome videos Hannah :)
YES! Ya gave me few more to add on my list. I should be good to start once I move to Japan. Reckon these other ones I learned would be very useful for visitors to know also...
1) itadakimasu (polite way saying “let’s eat” when accompanied by Japanese)
2) gochisoo samadesu (respectful way to say “thank you for the meal” at a restaurant or someone’s house before leaving)
3) sayonara or mata ne (formal/informal “goodbye or see ya later”)
Brilliant video, you're a such a great communicator.
Saving this for my future trip!
when I try to translate "onegaishimasu" into English, I always have difficulty😂 for Japanese, this phrase is so useful and flexible. I know how hard you explain it.
The words should be left onscreen the whole time instead of flashing it for a sec and it’s gone while you are still talking about it
Or added in the description!
if there was only a way to pause......
Thank you for the video. I took some time to compile the phrases, times (the phrases are presented in the video), did some lookup of the phrases in Google Translate. I hope it's useful to others. I don't speak Japanese, so please forgive any errors below!

Thank you--this is really helpful!
Yes!
Thank you for taking the time to teach this segment
I can't believe that yourcontents were posted about 5 years ago.
No multilingual, fluent Japanese-speaking CZcamsr has presented daily Japanese conversation necessary for travelling to Japan in such an easy-to-understand way as you have.
And your Japanese pronunciation is so beautifully spoken.
It is easy for me, a Japanese person, to understand.
Similarly, I thought your English was very easy to listen to, even though you speak fast and in a good tempo.
I don't think I can say this in the video contents, but maybe Japanese people like to entertain foreigners.
And I think it is accelerated when they are as beautiful as you are.
You have been revisiting Japan recently, haven't you?
We are very happy to have Japan fans like you.
Great video! And you sound very natural when you speak Japanese :)
I might be traveling to japan for the summer, so I’m trying to learn simple phrases. When I get back I’m hoping to start learning fluently
Ganbatte kudasai.
Amazing...So simplified!
Great video, amazing explanation!!
Your expressions are hilarious Hannah! really enjoy your videos, thumbs up.
だいじょぶ,だいじよぶ(Daijyobu)! This word is overused in Japan. The same as "no worries" in Aussie language...😁
Would love to see more of this!
This is great, now I’m ready since I know all these words already, ありがとうね！
I love your videos. Keep it up. *thumbs up emoji*
I used this phrase a lot when I visited Japan last April. Kurejito Kado? Arigato Gozaimashita!
Very helpful!! Thank you. Information well delivered
So great. Thank you Hannah!
これ、日本語の勉強のやつだけど
普通に英語の勉強になるねw
きゆ めっちゃ思った笑笑
それなw
確かにw
この人の英語聞きやすくてありがたいww
ほんとにそれ
ハンナちゃん、日本語の発音きれい♡
可愛いから、聞き入っちゃうなぁ♡
これからもVlog頑張ってね👍🏻
Love yah! ;)
Thank you! You are very good at teaching!
I'm going in two days and I needed to refresh what I learned years ago. This helped! Thanks for making this video.
"Card-ok desuka?"
Works in Okinawa .... Don't remember needing it in the mainland that often.
hey lol how could u remember like such a perfect pronounciation i haven't seen lol Even my girlfriend does not pronounce it so much. i've been dated with her 4 years lol
Great video! I'm in Japan traveling right now. so super useful.
I’m traveling to Japan for 10 days this month, and so far this was the number one most helpful video I have found! Thank you so much for making this!
大丈夫はマジでいろんなとこで使うなー
I usually use daijo-bu.
Excellent video.
A VERY important phrase to know also: Where is the toilet? --> Toire wa doko deska?
Thank you so much for the quick tips! I'm feeling ready for Tokyo :)
Hannah, I had to go back to this video to thank you. In March of this year, I was doing so much research for my first trip to Japan in April. It was AMAZING, and this video specifically helped me connect even just an extra bit with locals while making my way. Thank you for this video, thank you for being you. 😘😘
1:15 How about "domo"?
3:10 I did know "i-e", but I did not know that it was considered "a little harsh." I also didn't know "daijoubu."
Domo is also right.
Daijoubu means i am ok or no thank you.
ちゃんと伝わってるんかな。。
But when I say any of these phrases, the ppl in Japan think I know Japanese so they start speaking and then im lost😂😂
Virtual Suplex IT WASNT A REAL LIFE EXPERIENCE BUT A FACT U MORON
Virtual Suplex ok yes but this has probably happened to a lot of other people.
Thank you, going on my first trip to Japan, nervous and excited. Thank you. I'll have to rewatch this MANY MANY TIMES. Hopefully I'll get it down.
We're heading back for our second trip to Japan later this year, and I thought this time it would be good to know more than just a few words, so I googled. First video I clicked on and even before you spoke I knew you'd be an Aussie! So glad we found you, my family will be watching this vid many times this year! Thankyou, Todd and family from Perth.
何と言ってるか9割5分解らんけど、とりあえず日本のこと褒めてくれてるんだろうなぁ～というのが伝わった。(違ってたらちょっとハズい)

best teacher in the world i understood each n every concept n mechanisms of japanese
thank you for sharing this video. super helpful
idk why but im saying all this in a deep anime voice...
damn i hate myself
Omg,I watched 5 mins before going to Japan 🤣
how's Japan?
@@toty346 It's so fun but I kinda forgot the words:-P
I’m here learning now and I’m going tomorrow lol
Thank you so much Past-Currently Hannah, this was really helpful!
I'm going to Japan next week for the first time and I didn't want to seem too ignorant when traveling about. This video has been really helpful. Thank you so much. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge.
What's the name of the song? :)
We can start by watching anime! :P haha thats where i learn some basic phrases! I need japanese friends to practice :D
Hahaha well unfortunately, everyday Japanese people rarely talk like anime characters. It’s a fun starting point though!
CurrentlyHannah haha so true - sometime i think the anime actors are just unbelievably good that they can do a certain pitch hehe
You can use the app iTalki to practice with people
@@CurrentlyHannah I feel like half the people in the world learned the word "What" from Anime alone.
Thank you Hannah for the help with the phrases and pronunciation, it'll help me while i'm on holiday in November :)
Perfect video thanks, this should help me out for my first visit to Japan next week 😊
