Happy Halloween!

It's our first holiday together! So let's learn how to say it!

After a little bit of research it looks like Halloween is a mostly Western culture holiday so in Japan they use mostly the same phraseology just with their own spin when saying it.

Hapi Harouin - Happy Halloween

in light of that lets learn one extra phrase today... how to say "I'm scared"

Kowai desu - I'm scared
Ko Why Des


alright all until tomorrow
Arigato
Hapi Harouin!

We can't do it alone! (Can you help me?)

Although we don't really have a set curriculum, we're learning pretty fast and some very important things, but we can't do it alone. Let's learn how to ask for help!

Mayotte shimai mashita - I'm lost.
(Mayote shim mai mash ta)

Nani - Huh?
(Na Nee)

Wakarimasen - I don't understand.
(Wah kari Mase)

Tesudatte kuremasuka - Can you help me?
(Te su da te kur ey mass kaw)


Yatta!
We now know how to ask for help!
Don't forget your manners though and make sure and thank them!

Arigato!

Sayonara

Like it psshhh I LOVE IT!

Moshi Moshi
So yesterday we learned how to say we like something or dislike something, but what if we LOVE something?

Let's learn how to say it!
(seems like there are lots of ways to do it)

Daisuki yo - I love it (it's my absolute favorite)(really strong like)

Sore ii ne - I love it

Kore suki - I love it

Sore ga kirai - I hate it

Sore ga daikirai - I really hate it

As with any language there are lots of ways and lots of meanings behind every phrase.

Daisuki yo nihongo wo benkyou shite imasu! (I love that I am learning japanese!)

Arigato!
Mata ashita!

Like it!? I love it!

Moshi moshi!

Hey everybody! Hope you're having fun learning Japanese with me. I sure am.
So I was practicing some Japanese with a friend yesterday and she asked me how I'm liking it, and I realized I didn't know how to respond. So let's learn how!

Watashi wa [sore] ga suki desu - I like [it]
Wah Ta She Wa Soreay Gah Ski Des

Watashi wa [sore] ga kirai desu - I don't like [it]
Wah Tah She Wa Soreay Ga Keyrai Des

So next time someone asks you
Anata wa sore o sukidesu ka - Do you like it
Ah nata Wah Sorey o Skides Kaw

You can say
Hai, Watashi wa sore ga suki desu!

Arigato

Mata ashita!

Nice to meet you!

Moshi moshi!

So we've learned how to say hi to each other, but we haven't properly been introduced.

Hajimemashite - How do you do?
(Ha je me ma shte)

Watashi wa [name] desu - I'm name
(watashiwa Casey desu) - I'm casey
(Wa Ta shi wa [name] des)

Yoroshiku onegai shimasu - It's a pleasure to meet you
(yo ro shiku on ne ga shimas)

for a shorter less formal introduction

[name] desu - I'm name
Casey desu - I'm Casey

Yoroshiku - a less formal version of it's a pleasure to meet you

Onamae wa nandesuka - What is your name?
(On nay maywa nandes kaw)

Anata no onamae wa - Your name is?
Ah na ta no oh na may wa

Yatta!
We now know how to introduce ourselves properly!
