When I was stationed in the Navy in Yokosuka, I would most often hear "osu" from the shipyard workers when they were greeting each other in the morning. Of course, "osu" is kind of a slurred abbreviation of Ohayo gozaimaSU. I've heard the same kind of abbreviation of "konnichi wa" that sounded to me like "Chwasu." I heard that most often when I was hiking in Kanto-area mountains and was meeting hikers going in the opposite direction. Hello Kevin,

I've also heard "ohs" being used as greeting. Is this greeting more informal than "ohayo"? Thanks In this lesson we heard the short form for ohaiyo gozaimasu as ohayo.

Wouldn't a better translation for "Konnichiwa" Rondon be "Hello" London?

The phrase is mentioned at the end of the lesson notes PDF but the "ne" is not explained. As far as I know the whole phrase would literally be something like, "See you tomorrow, I suppose" or "Maybe we meet again tomorrow." But I maybe it is more correct to say that adding 「ね」makes the goodbye softer because I shows that you are not totally confident that you will meet again tomorrow. But this is all guesswork.

It doesn't mean "correct" or the direction, but more like in the example " See you again tomorrow, right?" Thats all. Just looking for confirmation.

However, I am struggling with see you tomorrow. the lesson notes only have the hiragana or kanji but not the romanji. I think I figured it out but not clear why "ne" at the end. mata ashitane - mata is also/again, ashita is tomorrow, ashitane? I am really enjoying this.

Very good interaction and I love how the syllables are broken down. It makes it easier to try and incorporate how to use Kana or Hiragana to see the sounds. I love the lessons so far.
