So far, this is what I am practicing. There are some things I really struggle with and get tongue tied but it’s coming along I think.
To make things easier on myself can I just say things like “Check in onegai shimasu” or “Check out onegai shimasu” instead of using the Japanese pronouncation of these words? I really struggle with “chekkuin” and “chekkuauto” for some reason. Same with something like “Tokyo Station wa doko desuka” will someone know what I mean simply by using Tokyo Station?
Thanks!
