Hi!
I recently got my first opportunity to finally put my Japanese to use after a year, or so, of self-study.
I started to work in a souvenir shop, and over the last month a serious number of Japanese tourists started to visit here, and so I just couldn’t pass this golden chance to totally embarrass myself and show off my horrid, horrid, Japanese. I really hope they won’t hate me for that.
And since blogs aren’t exactly plentiful with this type of info, I wanted to ask you for help with some useful phrasings, as I’m usually totally dumbfounded when having to initiate a basic conversation in Japanese. “It was working in the simulation”
For example what grammar should I use for an “if you’d like” type phrasing? Usually, “we have more merchandise to offer inside if you’d like” is my first sentence to go, and I just can’t make anything up in Japanese
Also, some polite phrases beyond いらっしゃいませ、would be awesome. And is 何かごようですか used in real life or only in videogames?
Maybe I should just review the keigo section in Genki? I have next to zero clue how to use it irl
I’ll be very grateful for any help
Cheers!
