| INTRODUCTION |
| Eric: Must-Know Japanese Social Media Phrases Season 1. Lesson 16 - Going on a Trip. |
| Eric: Hi everyone, I'm Eric. |
| Risa: And I'm Risa. |
| Eric: In this lesson, you'll learn how to post and leave comments in Japanese about being at the airport, waiting for a flight. 葉月 (Hazuki) waits at the airport for her flight, posts an image of it, and leaves this comment: |
| Risa: これからタイに行ってきまーす！ (Kore kara Tai ni itte kimāsu!) |
| Eric: Meaning - "Off to Thailand from now! " Listen to a reading of the post and the comments that follow. |

| POST |
| Eric: Listen again to 葉月 (Hazuki)'s post. |
| Risa: これからタイに行ってきまーす！ (Kore kara Tai ni itte kimāsu!) |
| Eric: "Off to Thailand from now! " |
| Risa: (SLOW) これからタイに行ってきまーす！ (Kore kara Tai ni itte kimāsu!) (Regular) これからタイに行ってきまーす！ (Kore kara Tai ni itte kimāsu!) |
| Eric: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "from now." |
| Risa: これから (Kore kara ) |
| Eric: You can add this expression at the beginning of a sentence when you want to say you're about to do something. Listen again- "from now" is... |
| Risa: (SLOW) これから (Kore kara ) (REGULAR) これから (Kore kara ) |
| Eric: Then comes the phrase - "Off to Thailand!." |
| Risa: タイに行ってきまーす！ (Tai ni itte kimāsu!) |
| Eric: This is a common expression you can use when you're on the way to somewhere to do something. Japanese people on social media often write this line before they go on a trip. Listen again- "Off to Thailand!" is... |
| Risa: (SLOW) タイに行ってきまーす！ (Tai ni itte kimāsu!) (REGULAR) タイに行ってきまーす！ (Tai ni itte kimāsu!) |
| Eric: All together, "Off to Thailand from now! " |
| Risa: これからタイに行ってきまーす！ (Kore kara Tai ni itte kimāsu!) |
