I will do the best I can in my free time to correct any errors in the answers submitted for free. I am a full time English teacher here on italki and I have teaching experience as a corporate trainer for a Fortune 500 US company. I also have journalism experience to add to my credentials. For more tips, my trial class is only 10 itc for 30 minutes. :-) Enjoy and have fun answering the question as best you can with your current vocabulary. :-)
Konichiwa Ohayo!
I just started learning Japanese last week and so you can expect I am at the beginner stage. I do not know how to read Japanese characters yet and can only read using roman letters for now.
What I would like to know are the common fundamental phrases used in everyday Japanese conversation to serve as building blocks for me to be able to construct my sentences. Can anyone help me out please?
The phrases I would like to know in Japanese are:
1)I would like....water, beer,etc.
2)Would you like....water, beer, etc.
3)Would you like to... dance, eat, etc.?
4) Are you....happy,sad, etc?
5)Where are you from?
6)What (hobbies, art, movies, etc.) do you like?
7)I am.... happy, sad, etc.
8)I like ... movies, singing, coffee.etc.
9)Yes I agree
10)No I disagree
11)How are... you? Your parents?sister, brother, wife, husband etc.
*If I am correct number 11 can be translated to Goryoshin, shimai, kyodai, etc. wa ogenki desu ka?
12) I do not like... movies, singing, apples, whatever,etc.
13) Great, good, sad... to hear/know that.
14) How was your day, week, month?
For now these phrases are what I would like to work on. Hoping someone can help me! By the way, if you are a Japanese speaker who wants to learn English or Tagalog, I am looking for a language partner. Let me know and we can help each other out! :-) Arigatou! Osakinishitsurei shimasu! Odaijini! Jikan ga attara itsu demo renraku o toriaimashou :-)
