Lesson #1 - Thank You!
June 1st, 2007Learn Japanese travel phrases with SurvivalPhrases.com! A little Japanese can go such a long way! Today we cover another high frequency Japanese phrase sure to be of use on your trip, travels or vacation to Japan.
Today, we’ll go over some basics. Wherever your destination maybe, manners are a must! And in this respect, Japan is no different. So in our very first lesson, we’ll be taking a look at “Thank you” — a phrase there is no excuse not to bring with you to Japan. Again, I’ll stress this over and over, a little a bit of the language can go such a long way! So be sure to stop by SurvivalPhrases.com before setting out on your trip to Japan, and when you do, be sure to leave us a post!

Ya’ll are wonderful! I thought I’d never be able to actually find something that would help me so much that’s so easy to learn! When I gradute High School my parents are paying for two friends and I to live in Japan for one year and if we enjoy our stay then we’ll start living there for real! I was so excited when my mother told me, but there was one little problem… the only words in Japanese I really knew off the top of my head were “Moshi Moshi”, “Arigato” and some other small words. And my friends don’t really have as much time to learn so I guess it’s up to me to speak the language so we’re not wondering around with not a clue! XD
I found you on iTunes and thank goodness I did! You’ve helped me alot and thank you so much!
I do believe I’ve spelt “graduate” wrong. *laughs*
Hi Sachiko-san,
I heard about this new and wonderful website from JapanesePod101. You guys (and girls) are great, and always on the cutting edge of Internet-based education. After listening to lesson 1 here, I can tell that your lessons will retain the quality that I have grown to love. Thanks for your teachings! どうも ありがとう ございます。
Sachiko-san, dōmo arigato gozaimasu. After doing some of the Newbie lessons on Jpod, I am in a bit of a rush as my exams are steadily approaching. But I saw a link to here and listened to this lesson and fell in love! This is perfect for the quick learning I could use before school. I am now a premium member and can’t wait to here all the future lessons. Again, arigato gozaimasu.
Congratulations! Excellent podcast. Enough information and perfect voice. That it’s important for me to understand both English and Japanese, because English is not my mother language, and I haven’t found this kind of podcast in Spanish. Thanks!!!
Arigato! It’s hard learning any language but SurvivalPhrases makes things much easier. Thank you again Sachiko san.
arigatouu~sachiko-san!
I REALLY appreciate the podcast! i simply LOVE japanese
and this make it so much more clear :)))
thank you, thank you
mata neh~ xDDD
Sachiko,
Domo Arigato Gozaimasu!!!!! I really appreciate these lessons. This coiming up summer I’m going on a missions trip to Japan. I figured Japaneese would be too hard of a language to learn but I was wrong. The lessons are very simple and I’m picking it up easily. So once again thank you so very much.
Doumo arigatou gozaimasu Sachiko-san!
I simply love this, i will not be going to Japan any time soon, but I want to learn as much as possible. This is a great way of learning! Although Sachiko Nakagome, the teacher or the person who says these phrases, goes a bit quit fast and doesn’t allow me to actually get the syllables so i have to write it all down, it’s still very good. She did tell me why she goes fast, she’s from Osaka (n Japan of course) and she has lived/ lives in new York so…….Anyways this is great i can’t wait for my next lesson!:eek::grin
Hi Sachiko,
My name’s Rosie and I’m learning Japanese at school, and I’ve been looking for other tools because I really want to become fluent. I have a Japanese ballet dancer living with my family, and she’s a huge help, but the more I can learn the better!
I’ve been listening to the first lesson over and over again, it’s really good and very helpful. I’m looking forward to finally going to Japan (although that probably won’t be for many years).
Thanks heaps.
Rosie.
Rosie,
I’ll pass on the message to Sachiko. Thanks for your support and good luck with your Japanese studies.

i am very curious about whether you are an America or a Japenese. i have a lot of friends who are learning japenese in the university. even though i am learning German but it is always interesting to learn sth new and fun.
thanks for your help.
i went to visit friends in Osaka last year and wished that i had learnt some Japanese as i was quite resticted!
i’ve looked at a few courses since and this one seems great. i love the fact we have the work sheets to download, it makes it much easier for me t pick up the phrases.
i really think this will be a great help with my Japanese and as the lessons are short i can fit them in on my journey to work every morning - although i might get strange looks from commutors as i sit speaking japanese to myself
I listened to a lot of podcasts at the iTunes Store, and these were by far the best sounding and easiest to understand. I downloaded the first ten lessons and burned them onto a CD to listen to in my car. It’s great! I’m looking forward to future lessons.
wow… Sacheko san is very cherrful. I love the lesson
Yes, she is. In real life she is always happy too!
These are excellent. I only had gone through 4 of the feeds and I had to subscribe. Simple and effective phrases!!
many thanks!
Glad to be of service! Good luck in your studies!
Sumimasen!
For some reason, I get a blank page with just the “SurvivalPhrases.com” heading on it with this pdf. All the other pdf files loaded down beautifully.
Any suggestions?
Domo arrigato gozaimasu!
