Are you getting ready for a trip to Japan? Aside from reading up on the Fodor’s website about the top experiences one can have while traveling in Japan, you may want to check out our new Japanese course for travelers, Living Language Passport Japanese. This course gives you the most essential vocabulary and grammar to really engage with the Japanese people and culture on your trip. Aside from vocabulary and grammar lessons, a native-speaker tutor will meet with you online to give you individual pronunciation feedback and help get you using what you’ve learned in the course.
Leaving too soon to learn from Passport Japanese you say? At least take these 5 essential phrases with you for a better trip:
| Hello!/Hi! | こんにちは！ | Kon’nichiwa! |
| Thank you very much. | どうもありがとうございます。 | Doomo arigatoo gozaimasu. |
| Please. | おねがいします。 | Onegai shimasu. |
| How much does this cost? | これはいくらですか。 | Kore wa ikura desu ka. |
| Where’s the bathroom? | お手洗いはどこですか。 | Otearai wa doko desu ka. |
