I wish I could slow the speed of the word down. It’s hard to hear pronunciation.
はじめまして、Aquilaさん!(Hajimemashite, Aquila-san! "Nice to meet you, Aquila!")
Yes, you did get it right! Just a small correction: In Japanese, we usually use particles between words. So, it would be more accurate to say "わたしは Aquila です" (Watashi wa Aquila desu) which means "I am Aquila". The "は" (wa) particle is used to indicate the topic of the sentence, in this case, "わたし" (watashi "I").
Keep up the good work! Your enthusiasm for learning is wonderful!
ありがとうございます!

こんにちは、Jayさん!
Thank you for your feedback. 「これはいくらですか」 is indeed a useful phrase. Good suggestions!
Keep up the good work! If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
ありがとうございます! (Arigatō gozaimasu! "Thank you!")

こんにちは,
I think an additional phrase that may be useful for tourists and such is " これはいくらですか。" (How much is this?).

Hello Sami G,
That's a great point! In Japanese, "Do you speak English?" translates to "英語を話せますか?" (Eigo o hanasemasu ka?). It's a very useful phrase to know, especially when traveling or meeting new people. Keep practicing and don't hesitate to ask if you have more questions!
ありがとうございます!

oops sorry, my question is "Do you speak English?" That would be a helpful phrase.
I agree with Brenda, "Do you speak englis?" would be my go to question. :D
Hello Team JPod101,
I am really sorry if this question has already been asked but I couldn't find it amongst the comments or in this "key phases list".
How do you say: Do you understand?
On the other hand "jaa mata", does it mean "see you later"?
Hontō ni arigatō gozaimasu.
