Introduction
This book was created out of a desire to fulfill the needs of people who aren't
satisfied with their current level of Japanese conversation—speakers who
are able to more or less handle day to day conversati〇ns, but still want to
bring their speaking to the next level by using effective expressions to com-
municate exactly how they feel.

In this book, we have collected 700 useful phrases that go beyond the
standard sayings used in daily life and allow you to precisely convey your
thoughts and feelings, in order to enrich your communications with Japa­
nese people. It can be used for practice on both a grammatical a nd functi on-
al level.

Parts 1 and 2 begin by solidifying the basics of conversation, such as ad­

dressing, greeting, thanking, apologizing, inviting, requesting, and so on.
Part 3 helps polish your knowledge of grammar, important in order to ex­
press yourself clearly.

Parts 4 and 5 help you practice being successful in society, covering top­
ics such as shopping, travel, work, hobbies, family, friends, and more. The
aim of these chapters is to enable you interact comfortably (confidently)
with Japanese people.

To give an example, readers will review basic expressi〇ns such as the

emergency phrase, "KyCikyCisha 〇 yondekudasai!,z or the phrase for stating
their opinion, "Sugoku yokattadesu." As for grammatical knowledge, items
such as the usage of "nagara" in "Sumaho 〇 minagara arukuto abunai de-
suyo"or the"〜yd to omou"in "Raigetsu, Kyoto e iko to omotteimasu."will be
reviewed. Phrases dealing with situations you will want to master, such as
talking about shopping or travel, e.g., "Yama ga suki desu ga, umi ni iketara
ureshii desu," have been collected in this book.

The recordings in this book try a new approach, allowing for more effec­
tive practice. The sentence is spoken slowly at first, then again at a natural
speed. We have also in eluded easy-to-understand explanations of how to
use the phrases, as well as many natural sample sentences that are unlike
what you would find in a traditional textbook. We hope you make good use
of these resources.

We truly wish for our readers to be able to con fide ntly express them­
selves when communicating in Japanese, and we hope that this book will
help you do that.

■ ■■ ■■■
■ Features of the Japanese Spoken Language 1 ■
★ The Japanese spoken language is different from the written language
in several ways. For example, in the spoken language, one or more sounds
are often omittedz or a colloquially contracted form is used. If you can
use these, your Japanese will sound more natural.
《Examples of omitted sounds〉
Original Omitted |
〜ています/ている 〜てます/てる
食べています/きべている 食べてます/食べてる
(now eating)

<Examples of contracted forms>

Original Contracted
では じゃ
学生ではありません/学生ではない 学生じゃありません/学生じゃない
がくせい がくせい
(not a student)
〜てしまいます/てしまう 〜ちゃいます/ちゃう
食べてしまいます/阜べてしまう 食べちゃいます/食ペちゃう
(having eaten)

〜ておきます/ておく 〜ときます/とく
食べておきます/食べておく 食べときます/食べとく
(having eaten beforehand)

〜のです/のだ 〜んです/んだ
食べるのです/食べるのだ 食べるんです/食べるんだ
(will surely eat)

食 If you speak in the polite spoken style using the polite form (です•ます),
even if no KEIGO is used, your language will be appropriate. However, we
recommend that you use the plain speech style, using the plain form, to
your close friends.

<Examples of polite form and plain form>

Polite form Plain form
書きます/書きました 書く/書いた

見ます/見ました 見る/見た

します/しました する/した
行きますか/行きましたか 行く?/行った?

寒いです/寒かったです 寒い/寒かった
元気です/元気でした 元気(だ)/元気だった

Here is an example of a casual conversation in the plain speech style.

A「もうレポート書いちゃったの?早いね。」 A： Have you already finished writing your героеt?
That was quick!
B： Yeah, because I want to go out (and play) as soon ■

Features of the Japanese Spoken Language 2 ■
★ In Japanese conversations, the sentence-final particles ね，よ，か
な,etc. appear frequently.
ね is used when the speaker thinks that the listener also already
knows the information that he/she is going to tell the listener. (In a
casual conversation between men/な is sometimes used instead of ね.)
よ is used when the speaker is saying something that he/she thinks
the listener does not know yet.
Here is an example conversation：

山田「あ、田中さん、髪、切ったんですね。すてきですね。」
やまだ たなか かみ き

田中「変じゃないですか? 実は、この髪形、気に入らないんですよ。切
たなか へん じっ かみがた き い き

らないほうがよかったんじゃないかな…」
山田「そんなこと、ないですよ。すごく似合ってますよ。」
やまだ にあ
Yamada： Oh, Ms. Tanaka, you had haircut, didn*t you? It looks nice.
Tanaka： Isn't 汁 odd? To tell the truth, I don't like this hairstyle. I wonder 讦 not
having had a haircut would have been better.
Yamada： I don*t think so. It suits you very well.

As shown in the above example/かな is the marker of a monologue.

Therefore, it can be used in conversations in the polite style as well
as in the plain style.

★ Please note that int〇nation is important, too. For example,し、し'

ですよ with a rising intonation expresses willing consent; but with a
falling intonation expresses declining or refusal.

★ The Japanese language has lots of homonyms, and a different

accent sometimes changes the meaning. For example, the phrase きょ
うかし'Iこし、きます has the following three meanings depending on the
accent：
1) Гт going to church.
2) Гт going to the meeting today.
3) Гт going to buy it today.

■ Features of the Japanese Spoken Language 3 ■
★ The phrase ~んです is often heard in Japanese conversations. This
phrase represents one of the unique characteristies of the Japanese
language. If you use this phrase appropriately, it will convey your
feelings nicely, although too much use is strongly discouraged.

~んです is used in the following cases：

① When questioning with a certain premise, or when questioning
with a concern or worry.
② When giving a reason or excuse, or when explaining.
③ When adding the connotation of emotion or emphasizing the
emotion

For example, please read the following dialogue：

山田「あれつ、そのコート、やっぱり買ったんですか。」①
やまだ か
田中「ええ。どうしてもほしくて、買っちゃったんです。」②
たなか か
山田「そうですか。あんなに高かったのに、買ったんですか…」③
やまだ たか か
Yamada： My goodness! You've bought that coat after all?
Tanaka： Yeah, I really wanted this, and decided to buy 汁 after all.
Yamada： I see. You bought it, despite the fact that it was so expensive...

Without ~んです in this kind of daily conversation, it sounds some-

what like mechanical robots are talking. If your friend appears in
front of you with a bump on his/her forehead, asking どうしたんですか“
will convey your warm feeling of concern better than どうしましたか
which is more like a doc tor's objective inquiry.

★ In addition to these, the Japanese language has many other

basic sentence patterns that express the speaker's feelings or that
indicate concern for the listener, e.g. ~ ちゃう（て しまう）,passive
verbs, intransitive verbs, and verbs to describe giving and receiving.
Each of these forms is explained in the One Point Advice section in
this book.

Features of the Japanese Spoken Language 4 ■
The Japanese language has a polite system called KEI&O.
Information about KEIGO,计s classifications, meanings and forms
are described in the One Point Advice section of Part 3, Unit 30.
Some learners are not willing to study KEIGO, saying that it is
feudalistic. On the other hand, many foreigners admire the manners
and service offered in Japanese department si・〇res, and hotels, etc.
The KEIGO that the staff use reflect their hospitality and ensure
a very warm welcome to their customers and guests. The use of
KEIGO demonstrates the hospitality of the speaker.

Therefore, in Japanese society, in companies and offices,

employees are required to use appropriate KEI60 to people outside
their office, and in the new employees* training sessions, new staff
are taught how to use KEIGO.

KEIGO expresses not only the vertical relationship but also the
distance bet ween people. If you con tinue to use formal, polite
KEIGO to your friends, they might feel that you are refusing their
attempts to become close to you.

In Japan, the younger students at school use KEIGO when talking

to older students, and usually it continues even after graduation
or even forever. However, if people get especially intimate, e.g.,
becoming lovers or business partners, KEIGO is gradually forgot ten
and, without noticing it, КヒIGO is no longer included in their
conversations.

If you listen to the conversations between Japanese people, you

may feel that they do not express their emotion very much. But as
you study the Japanese language more and more, you will gradually
notice that the sentence pattern itself can express the speakers
emotion, even when it is not directly expressed. I

Sport is a popular pastime in Japan. Many people follow their favorite teams, even if
they don't play a sport themselves. Sumo has always had a large following and in recent
years soccer has grown in popularity. At the junior and senior high school level being a
member of the school team can mean practicing after school (and sometimes before)
five days a week; plus additional practices and competitionson Saturday, Sundays and
during school holidays. CD-2
