| Do you know how to give short instructions in Japanese? |
| You'll learn how in just a moment. |
| Hi, my name is Emiri, and this is Three Step Japanese by JapanesePod101.com. |
| In this lesson, you'll learn how to give short instructions in Japanese through a quick conversation. |
| Let's look at the dialogue. |
| ながおかさん、ゆっくりできましたか｡ (Nagaoka-san, yukkuri dekimashita ka.) |
| はい｡おいしいものを食べて、おんせんでゆっくりできました｡ (Hai, oishii mono o tabete, onsen de yukkuri dekimashita.) |
| よかったです｡まだ時間があります｡近くのびじゅつかんへ行きませんか｡フロントでびじゅつかんへの行き方を聞きましょうか｡ (Yokatta desu. Mada jikan ga arimasu. Chikaku no bijutsukan e ikimasen ka. Furonto de, bijutsukan e no ikikata o kikimashō ka.) |
| すみません、びじゅつかんへの行き方をおしえてください｡ (Sumimasen, bijutsukan e no ikikata o oshiete kudasai.) |
| ホテルを出て、まっすぐ行ってください｡ さいしょのしんごうを左にまがってください｡右がわにびじゅつかんがあります｡ (Hoteru o dete, massugu itte kudasai. Saisho no shingō o hidari ni magatte kudasai. Migigawa ni bijutsukan ga arimasu.) |
| ささきさん、ここへ来ておしえてください｡ (Sasaki-san, koko e kite oshiete kudasai.) |
| Let's look at it once more, with translation. |
| ながおかさん、ゆっくりできましたか｡ (Nagaoka-san, yukkuri dekimashita ka.) |
| Ms. Nagaoka, were you able to relax? |
| はい｡おいしいものを食べて、おんせんでゆっくりできました｡ (Hai, oishii mono o tabete, onsen de yukkuri dekimashita.) |
| Yes. I ate delicious food and relaxed in the hot spring. |
| よかったです｡まだ時間があります｡近くのびじゅつかんへ行きませんか｡フロントでびじゅつかんへの行き方を聞きましょうか｡ (Yokatta desu. Mada jikan ga arimasu. Chikaku no bijutsukan e ikimasen ka. Furonto de, bijutsukan e no ikikata o kikimashō ka.) |
| That’s great. We still have time. Shall we go to a nearby art museum? Should we ask the front desk how to get there? |
| すみません、びじゅつかんへの行き方をおしえてください｡ (Sumimasen, bijutsukan e no ikikata o oshiete kudasai.) |
| Excuse me, please tell me how to get to the art museum. |
| Pay attention to the next sentence. It follows the key speaking pattern you'll learn later in this lesson. |
| ホテルを出て、まっすぐ行ってください｡ (Hoteru o dete, massugu itte kudasai.) |
| Leave the hotel and go straight. |
| さいしょのしんごうを左にまがってください｡右がわにびじゅつかんがあります｡ (Saisho no shingō o hidari ni magatte kudasai. Migigawa ni bijutsukan ga arimasu.) |
| Turn left at the first traffic light. The art museum will be on the right side. |
| ささきさん、ここへ来ておしえてください｡ (Sasaki-san, koko e kite oshiete kudasai.) |
| Ms. Sasaki, please come here and show me. |
