Learn Japanese with JapanesePod101.com! You’re not sure how it happened, but you’ve become separated from your friends in Japan. The shopping area where you’ve been doing some shopping is huge. You can’t hope to find them in this enormous crowd. You decide to make your way back to the car and wait for them there. But just because it’s sensible, doesn’t make it easy. All the signs are in Japanese. You’ll have to ask for help. So preparing to use your best Japanese, you ask a lady standing nearby, “Excuse me, where is the exit?” She replies in Japanese, “It’s over there.” So you make your way to the exit, and as you get outside, you realize it’s not the same exit where you entered. Now you need more help. Well, at least you’ve had some practice now. So you ask in Japanese again, “Excuse me, where is the parking lot?” A man standing nearby answers in Japanese, “I don’t know, I came by train.” You try again with another person. “Excuse me, where is the parking lot?” “It’s over there,” he answers. Hopefully, once you get to the parking lot, you can find your friend’s car. You don’t think asking a stranger in Japanese, “Where is my friend’s car?” is going to get you far!
