Learning Japanese is daunting, so here are 35 easy words you can learn in a day that you can use for your trip! The words used are Gairaigo and Wasei-eigo, which make it easier to remember, so I focused on that.

A different language is a different vision of life. Learning another language is not only learning different words for the same things, but learning another way to think about things. Those who know nothing of foreign languages know nothing of their own. The more you speak more languages, the more you understand about yourself. The more doors we open to other cultures by learning these languages, the more we open up ourselves! Thank you for this Japanese lesson, Chris! Hope it inspires more people to explore the world of linguistics.

I love learning languages and seeing how they evolved over time. Like how Japanese has included English loanwords as the result of American influence. Same for South Korean, while the Korean spoken in North Korea is pretty old-fashioned due to isolation (and an effort by Kim Il-sung to remove loanwords to make it purely Korean in the 60s). It really is fascinating how despite many countries speaking the same language whether it be English or Spanish, there are different varieties of said language thanks to the local cultures.
In Cuban Spanish for example, we have a saying called "¿Qué bola asere?" which is basically our way of saying "What's up, bro?". The phrase has African influence as asere comes from the word Esiere (means buddy) from the Efik language of southern Nigeria while bola is from the Igbo language also from southern Nigeria. If you say this around Cubans whether it's in Cuba, Miami or Union City, NJ, we'd know what you're saying. But if you say this elsewhere in Latin America, they'd have no clue whatsoever.
Thank you for taking my lesson on italki, Chris!
I think this video is really useful for travelers :D
Thank you for giving me a great refresher on how to ask about allergies! It was a fun lesson and others should take classes with you!
Thank you . I want to learn Japanese my boyfriend and our family wants to go to Japan learning a little bit of Japanese can help thank you so munch
Thank you for watching! Learning even a little bit goes a long way.
I’ve been slowly learning Japanese for a little over a year now, this is soo nice and helpful! Please do more videos like this :-)
Sure thing! Thank you for watching!
Thanks for this Chris. When I visited Japan, the lovely people who I came across always appreciated the very little amount of Japanese I knew.
Thank you for watching, Kate!
This really perked me right up. I was feeling a bit down because I haven't heard back from the place I interviewed with, but hearing Japanese again and picturing myself going again really made me happy.
Thank you.
Thank you for teaching us!! Very helpful
Thank you so much. Very helpful
I really enjoyed this video. You should do more of these!
Thank you for the lovely lesson, will practice lots.
Thank you! Very helpful :)
Thank you for watching! I'm happy you found it useful!
Love this! So useful. Would love more like this.
So glad!
Thank you so much for this video Chris! It's really helpful. We're heading to Japan at the end of 2023, would you mind including some phrases for the post office in your next one of these videos? Specifically if you want to send a package of souvenirs home while traveling around Japan?
Somehow after watching your merch videos I think that we won't be able to fit everything into our suitcases to bring home to Australia haha!
Thanks again :)
I'm Japanese. My 6year-old son is one of your big fans. we live in osaka .
So, My son is looking forward to finding you by chance at USJ someday😊
Aww, thank you for watching! Please, if you see me at the Parks come and say hello!
omg I need that coffee cup keychain thing it's so cute 😍
This is so fun! Feeling ready to start a bit of a new language!
Thank you for watching! Best of luck with the studies, I'm happy I was able to inspire!
Thank you so much! I'll finally be arriving in Japan on March 1st, after three cancelled trips! I've been trying to learn Japanese on and off since 2020, but it's nice to get very specific words that I know I'll be using.
I'm happy you're able to finally go on your trip!
I just started using Duolingo the other day to kickstart myself to learn Japanese and this video came out at such a perfect time! I plan to grab some textbooks in the future once I get a simple grasp through learning on the app. Looking forward to more language videos TDR, I appreciate it!!
Glad it was helpful!
I loved this video! I will be referring back to it and checking out italki! Thank you!
Thank you for watching!
Thank you very much
You're welcome!
Thank you so much for this Chris!
I always want to know basic words and sentences to every other country I enter to just ‘try’ to speak a little in the language spoken there. I think that’s the minimum anyone can do to just be polite :)
The only social anxiety fear I have is that they would start talking back and I have no idea what they’re saying! 😅
My husband and I live in the Netherlands and are visiting Japan in may this year. We are very excited! Your videos help us and excites us even more!
Thank you for watching and I'm happy you found it valuable! Ah, yes, when someone speaks back that's a whole other ballgame. Places like restaurants and stores, hand gestures go a long way and a lot of people will do that as well. Please report back on your trip when you're done!
Great video !!! Loved this video please some more like this. Thank you kindly.
Thank you! Will do!
I love this!! I literally have a note on my phone of words that over the years, between your channel and your podcast, that you (or Patricia!) have said are must-know’s in Japan. This video is so much better!!
Yay! Thank you!
This is a brilliant video idea which I would have loved to have back in the day when I first went to Japan. So helpful. Well Done Chris
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching!
i really loved this video. my minor is japanese and i'm going to be studying abroad in japan soon so it's nice to see what kind of words are more commonly used instead of the stuff i have to learn for class
Loving it !! Thank you. I love your alien mochi shirt 😍
Yay! Thank you!
Hi Chris, would love a video with examples of common interactions. For example, if you want to order a popcorn bucket, but save the popcorn for later or ordering counter service food or purchasing at a convenience store/merchandise store. I know you obviously can't cover every single question that may be asked but just being able to rehearse helps a lot of people with anxiety! Love your content! It's been very helpful for our upcoming trip.
和製英語の発音が上手でびっくりしました！！動画面白かったです、ありがとうございます！逆に私が英語を勉強する励みになりました笑
I’m going to Japan at the end of the month! This video is so helpful, thank you! I hope I run into you at Disney or Universal!
It makes me happy to hear you found this helpful! Please, if you see me in the parks feel free to say hi and let's take a picture!
watching this brings me back to my N5 classes last year 😆 this is a nice review of my vocab 😁 can't wait to use them when i get to Japan hopefully real soon 😍
Glad it was helpful! Fun fact, I failed the N5 years ago haha.
Thank you for taking the time to do this video - I alwys wanted to get a chance to learn this language - thnk you!!!!
Thank you for watching, Patti! I wanted to show that there are a lot of words you already know (by pronouncing it differently) to help with not feeling too overwhelmed!
That brought me back to the days when I lived in Japan. I took to calling English and other foreign words in Japan, "Katakana-go", because they were basically just foreign words spoken with a Japanese accent or written in a Japanese "alphabet" or writing system, called Katakana.
One pro-tip that worked for me, was when you don't know a word in Japanese, speak it in English with a "Japanese Katakana accent". Quite often, you will be understood. In Japan, English is taught using the sounds from the Katakana writing system / alphabet. So, they usually won't learn to say "Elevator", but instead will have learned "Erebeta". *** Of course, I wouldn't try this without having first learned a bit about Katakana (The Japanese alphabet used for foreign words). You can teach yourself Katakana in a day or a week max. Just going to Japan and pretending to speak English in a fake Japanese accent will be extremely insulting!
I started doing Duolingo for Japanese a couple of months ago, and I think I have the majority of the hiragana and katakana down, which is at least something! I would love a follow up with even more theme park-related words, maybe some practical like how many, two people, directions, etc. and some fun ones like ride types, how to say "that was fun", and the like. Also love the costume changes!
Thank you for the suggestions!
YASSS CHRIS TEACHING ME
Thank you for watching!
Hello! I am Japanese, but it was interesting to learn the difference between English and Japanese by watching this video! I'm studying English and I can hardly do it yet, so now I'm using a translation to comment (lol). Japanese is a difficult language even for me as a Japanese, but when I read the comments, I was very happy that there were many people studying Japanese! I'm sorry if my English is wrong!I'm looking forward to watching videos!
your grammar is very good! it’s very likely that people will understand what your saying. :D
@@xSunsetSkiezx Thank you! It made me feel so happy! You are a very kind person!💖
@@user-gy8lw8dx4q どういたしまして！your welcome 🤗
First, I would like to thank you for your videos. I am half Japanese, living in France and I miss Japan so much.
Second, may I suggest your next theme vocabulary video about japanese custom at the airport: vaccins, visa, duration of the stay, carrying food or foreign products etc
Hi Chris, not sure if this message will get to you. My fiance and I watch your videos consistently. We love your content! You probably get this all the time, but I HAVE to know where you got the Boo shirt shown at the 15min mark. We both have been looking high and low and not even sure where to look. Thanks for your time and I hope this message finds you well. Keep up the amazing content.
Cool!
Thank you for watching!
Also about how to count money, people (at the restaurant) or courses, time. I know there are many different ways to say numbers that depends on the subject or the situation.
Thank you. Arigatoù
ありがとうございますクリスさん！ビデオは素晴らしいです！日本語が勉強します。 がんばります!
いつもビデオを見ることに本当にありがとうございます！日本語の勉強ことに感張ってください。
ohhh it's like spanglish I luv it ... ahhh that's the kohi keychain (practicing my lingo) ... days of our lives 🤩
I'm happy you found this useful! Haha, gotta get that practice in.
Great video! My family and I also use phrases like “good morning”, “good evening”, “thank you”, “you’re welcome” (don’t touch my mustache-not literally) 😂and sanni to indicate a party of 3 people for restaurants and attractions seating.
Love that!
Hello 💖💖
I'm hoping to travel to Japan late this year! So far your videos have been very helpful and fun to watch! I'm vegan and I was wondering if you can show me how to ask for vegan food / where to get vegan food. I would also love if you can do a video "only getting vegan foods in Japan or t Disneyland!" Thanks for everything an the fun videos ! 💖💖💖💖😇
Hi. @tdrexplorer. When you talking about all details of No Limit Parade! In USJ? I get my tickets.
We have information on our website but I won't have a video out until the parade debuts. tdrexplorer.com/no-limit-parade-universal-studios-japan/
I get very confused on the different "thank you" phrases and which should be the default usage. also bowing, when and how much should I bow? LOOOOOVE this video, thank you so much
I completely missed including thank you, whoops. To keep it simple, it's best to stick to "arigato gozaimasu" since that's what you'd be using in most situations. As for bowing, a simple nod is fine in most situations.
When ordering at a restaurant, how do you say, "That's it" (the order is completed, /that's all)?
Actually Pan is Portuguese or Spanish
Lucky dude! I always envy you can wear cute JPN shirts unlike me I have to search at Avail and Shimamura for 5XL. Same thing at Adidas stores at any outlets here, gotta find 4-5X0.
Thanks for this video, Chris!
Peace from Tochigi
I find the TDR shirts are hit or miss for me too. Sometimes I can wear an L or XL, and sometimes not. It's not consistent, which is frustrating at times. Are there Disney shirts at places like Shimamura? I've never thought to look. Thank you for watching! I actually used to live in Tochigi twenty years ago when I was an exchange student. I lived in Ujiie, which is now Sakura-shi.
@@tdrexplorer sometimes Avail & Shimamura have Disney characters like Mickey, Minie or Pluto on their shirts, sweaters and hoodies. But my favorites are One Piece, Betty Boop, Conan the Detective, Doraemon and Dragon Ball Z characters. I just can’t avoid them, got a bunch of their cute collections in my closet 😅
So lucky to wear these here in JPN because nobody would think it’s weird for adults wearing them 🤩
Like Sands through the Hour Glass.... So are the "New Days" .. close enough bro lol
"fukuro" and "pointo kaado" are important ones to add, I think. Every single shop will ask about them nowadays 😅
Yup!
Your shirt made me look up Boo's Japanese Name, Teresa. I didn't know that before.
Oh, yes! It's so interesting the name for Boo in Japanese.
I used arerugi last time I was in Japan for my fiancee since he is allergic to fish and the server looked at me like she didn't understand. I had wondered if she was faking or if my accent threw her off or something. I have a southern american accent. Also you forgot to mention for sizes in clothing for example a large size shirt is a medium size in a lot of other cultures. I learned this the hard way when I went to buy a shirt and it didn't fit. >.
1:15 If it’s rude to put up your hand and say excuse me to call the waiter over in Canada and other countries, what should you do? I’m a little shy and always had trouble getting their attention…😣
Pan actually came from the Portuguese influence in Japan - Pão = pan heheh
I swear i saw someone that looked like you with a yellow beanie in the tokyo disney hotel elevator with some donald duck voice i swear i think thats u it was like at 9:50 pm at night
I would like to learn Japanese. But I have to finish my English exams first.
I’m about to learn a 4th language😂😂😂
What other ones do you know?
You already know huh? I expected with a title like that it was things like sushi and karate and such, I only knew a small handful of these...so not really sure the title is accurate. XD
Just in time! I leave in 2 weeks 🎉
Its ironic for me I dont even need them technically since im non verbal 🤣
Wait they call DisneySea death for short?
maybe you can talk about animals.- 動物 for example dog.- 犬, cat.- ねこ bird 鳥 how many dogs do you have 犬を何匹飼っていますか just examples
Good suggestions!
