Hey there,
I’m visiting Japan for the first time next month. I would say i’m sitting at a comfortable upper-beginner/pre-intermediate level.
How does a Japanese learner get by using standard ひょうじゅんご in areas that use dialect, like say Osaka or Kyoto?
I was also wondering, since most of my learning is quite ていねい focused, is it a good idea to try and brush up on more casual speech or keigo I might encounter either socially or in shops?
Thanks for your help!
