    You two should have been language teachers!!! So engaging! (And I say this as someone who is a qualified teacher of English as a foreign language). Your presentation was fun and educational at the same time. You involved your students, repeated the words - very necessary - without being boring.And got us to repeat them too! 👏 I really enjoyed this video - it made me smile 👏
    I truly think you have a gift. Please give us more of these lessons.

      Your presentation was well thought out. Please make more language educational videos for learners of Japanese and for Japs who need to level-up on their English. Your cultural sensitive presentations are effective and fun! From an English professor and former ESL teacher of Nagasaki scholars 😊

    Instead of asking "Do you speak English?" in Japanese, you can just ask in English. If they don't know what you said, then they don't speak English. I would replace that one with "Chottomatte" (wait a moment.) On my trips to Japan my two most used phrases are "Thank you," and "Wait a moment." There are so many times when you just need a second to figure something out, take out money or your phone, and you don't want the person to think you gave up on communicating. That's my 2 cents!~

    I have only visited Japan once in late 2019, hope to visit again! I had about 2 and a half months to prepare for my trip and did online Japanese learning. There is no way I could have managed a conversation, but it was so helpful! I visited a museum and it was very (very) quiet and then... I dropped my change purse and made an almighty racket (well it felt like that in the silent museum). A few people looked at me aghast. I said "sumimasen gomennasai" and their demeanour changed immediately and I was met with smiles.

    I started watching you guys pre-pandemic as I was planning a trip for my family to Japan. Multiple cancellations later we will finally be spending June traveling through Japan. So excited to finally get to experience some of the Japan you showcase and glad for this video for a few words (I will study more Japanese before we go). Thanks for keeping our dream of visiting Japan alive while the world dealt with so much.

    My favorite phrase when I went in 2018 was “おすすめはなんですか?” (Osusume wa nan desu ka?”) which means “What do you recommend?”
    This was very helpful when the menu was hard. I didn’t know much Kanji at the time, and there were no photos or English in sight.

    I love you guys! I first stumbled across your channel when I was researching for a trip to Amsterdam! Love that video! We even went to a few places and tried food that you recommended! 🙂 Now, I'm planning a trip to Japan this November/December and I'm glad to see this video! I always want to at least learn a few simple phrases before I visit a country and this is certainly very helpful! Thanks!!
