## Japanese for your trip to Japan

The phrases you actually need when you land in Tokyo: order, pay, get around and ask for help, with the manners Japanese people appreciate.

This path is built around situations, not grammar. You start with the ten most useful phrases, like すみません (sumimasen) (excuse me, and how you call a waiter) and これをください (kore o kudasai) (this one, please), then move on to restaurants, trains, hotels and the konbini.

Instead of memorizing phrase lists, you practice them in conversations: the character speaks, you answer out loud, and speech recognition checks whether you would be understood. You pass immigration, order at a ramen shop and check in at a hotel, all before your flight.
