Traveling in Japan // In need for some useful phrases!


Recommended Posts

Hey all

In April I will have the opportunity to spend two weeks in Japan with my family. This is why I would like to learn some useful phrases.

Could you please help me to translate the following questions/phrases into Japanese? Thank you! It would be appreciated if you could indicate BOTH Characters and Romaji.

[Where is the closest Metro Station?]

[Excuse me, do you know the way to the train station?]

[sorry, what's the price for this X ?]

[Thank you so much for your kindness]

[i would like to order some more dishes.]

[i would like to order some more wine.]

[The bill, please]

[What's the time now?]

[Excuse me, I am searching for a bank]

[How old are you?]

[We are from Switzerland. My mother is working as a secretary and her boyfriend is a doctor. I am currently studying Chinese and Computational Linguistics at the University of Zurich.]

The last one might be a little bit hard to translate :=) But hopefully someone will come up with a nice translation for it:=)
