Marky-san, how’s going with the lesson I requested a while ago? I want to able to study before I’m heading there instead of you post the lesson the day I leave.

Please update with me.

Are Meyumi and Yuki new? It’s hard to keep track because I’ve been catching up most of the time, and there seem to be fairly frequent changes. I do like the variety, but it’d be nice to know who is and isn’t around any more

Anyway, this lesson was a bit simpler than the others, but still had a few useful words.

What would happen if I ask the lady at the department store「すみません、今夜は暇ですか？」

デボンさん、i’ve usually had good luck in tokyo, but then i spend too much.
but it’s pretty easy to make them go away: just say　「i can’t 日本語」.

javizyさん、mayumi has occasionally posts on here. she’s not a voice actor tho. she writes grammar points and stories and advises and does a gazillion other things around the office. yuki is new, but also not a voice actor. but you may be hearing him in some upcoming lessons.

bakanekoさん、depends on who you ask, i guess.

sindyさん、i saw lots of beautiful clerks in boutiques in manhattan and they were relatively polite.

Tokyo is superb for shopping but sizing becomes a problem especially for shoes,suits. I saved a fortune cos a lot of nice stuff didnt fit and I couldnt buy it!!
However I bough tons of things and never felt pushed quite the opposite.

One great local store I frequented in Shimokitazawa would send me hand written postcards about sales and asked about my well being genuinely nice.In the store they would be happy to show me the new things and would be honest if things didnt suit me .I never felt obliged to buy.best service I have ever had .Anymore shopping lessons would be appreciated especially regarding fit etc
