Learn Japanese with JapanesePod101.com! When visiting Japan, you might have some difficulty getting around. The sights and sounds of the city may be confusing and not at all what you’re used to. That’s why being able to ask questions like, “Where is the nearest hospital?” and “What is the restaurant’s address?” is indispensible. It’s also really important that you can ask people for their phone numbers in a polite and direct way.

This newbie Japanese lesson is here to help you master the Japanese questions that will get you around the city. Use jūsho (”address”) and denwa bangō (”phone number”) to ask for important information in Japanese. You’ll also discover how to ask for directions to a number of locations, from the hospital to Starbucks Coffee. In addition to plenty of examples and practice sentences, you’ll also find a chart of Japanese words to the places you’ll want to find.
