Wondering why no-one else commented. Do people skip the Bonus Track, or has ritual suicide enjoyed a resurgence in Japan? :wink: Thank you, Tomasu-san!

"Kore wa chuumon shimasen deshita" does mean "I didn't order this", but it sounds a lot more direct, to the point of being blunt. (It seems like they were trying to present the simplest way of saying it over the most natural way to say it) The politeness level does not actually change much from "kore wa chuumon shite inain desu kedo". The "n desu kedo" at the end of the phrase we introduced makes the statement softer and not so straightforward, so I recommend using that ;) Lennartさん,

Again, a couple of questions. :cool::roll: I guess you can also use: kore wa chuumon shite inai n desu kedo, and point at the item if you're not sure what the exact name is, but it doesn't look like the picture? :mrgreen: And in a phrasebook they give the phrase: kore wa chuumon shimasen deshita. This is obviously the more polite form of saying the above, but what do you guys think of it? I heard phrasebooks are common to give more polite forms, which sometimes may be akward... Thanks again!! Hi guys!

If you search our lessons by "food" or "restaurant," you'll find more food related lessons.:smile: skmt999-san,

It has to be one of the scariest things about going to a new place, not knowing what to eat or HOW to eat it. I thought the bonus track was hilarious.

One issue though: I sometimes find (for instance in this lesson) that the most important stuff is missing from the vocab list. In my opinion, this lesson is about how to convey that your order was messed up, and the singlemost important phrase is "... wa chumon shiteinain desu kedo". Neither chumon or any other part of the phrase is included in the vocab... Same for the previous shrine lessons - the most important phrase/word is missing - "please teach me". It's important not to leave out words essential for survival, as this is survival phrases :-) Other than that, keep up the good work! /E Hi guys,

I think it was after the popularity of this series of intros that they were included. Guys, more recent lessons all have the intros scripted.

But I wouldn't mind having a go transcribing/translating them myself (if other people helped). This one was super easy though. The waiter felt bad for bring the wrong food and committed hari-kiri. Hahahahahahaha :lol: I don’t think the bonus tracks are scripted.

Though it's good practice to try work them out ourselves, there should at least be a provided transcript so that if we cannot work them out ourselves, we can at least read what they are and learn from that.
