Level: Survival Phrases (S2)
Learn Japanese travel phrases with Japanese Survival Phrases! A little Japanese can go such a long way! Today we cover another high frequency Japanese phrase sure to be of use on your trip, travels or vacation to Japan.
Today, we’ll go over some basics. Wherever your destination maybe, manners are a must! And in this respect, Japan is no different. So in our very first lesson, we’ll be taking a look at “Thank you” — a phrase there is no excuse not to bring with you to Japan. Again, I’ll stress this over and over, a little a bit of the language can go such a long way! So be sure to stop by SurvivalPhrases.com before setting out on your trip to Japan, and when you do, be sure to leave us a post!

It may be slightly outside the scope of survival phrases, but when do you use the present form ありがとうございます and when the past form ありがとうございました of “thank you ” ?

Is this series going to be a full re-issue of the same 60 lessons at http://survivalphrases.com/japanese, with added dialog and review tracks ??

When you are leaving someone’s place and want to say “thank you for everything that the person has done for you”, you would say “いろいろありがとうございました” in the past form. It’s because what the person did for you was the thing of the past. But, when you want to say “thank you” to someone and you can expect the person will be doing something for you from now, you would say “いろいろありがとうございます” in the present form. Hope that makes sense.

Yes, we’d like to introduce some of the survival phrases lessons to our listeners who haven’t had a chance to listen to them.

All about japanese, then Survivalphrases S2: everytime you open a new serie, I have to open a new additionnal MyFeed file just for those series. So it will be the third this year! You could resume the old Survival file.
It’s impossible to manage new series or to change choices within “Myfeed” without erasing and downloading again all podcasts since 2005, so about 1 or 2 days downloading. Can you fix that?

Allain-san,
If you click only the new series and click the link automatically generated for iTunes on the Myfeed page, you can add Myfeed only for the new series. Is that you want to ask? If it’s not, please let me know.
Thursday at 9:13 pm
Yes, that’s what I do, but now I have 3 Myfeed files with differents names in iTunes instead of one, and 4 the next time a new serie will come, etc…

Allain-san,
I see what you want to do. I’ll ask our tech team if there is any solution.

Sorry for the late reply.
>>how enthusiastic your voice is !
It’s really a hard phrase to translate.(Of course you can translate something ike…”熱心な声ですね”, but it doesn’t sound very natural….)
I would translate it to… さちこさんの熱意が伝わってきます.
