Basic Japanese Conversation

I look cool when I drive. First, I have my seat pushed as far forward as possible so I can reach the pedals. Second, I drive the ultimate car, a minivan. Third, I am talking…in Japanese.
My son, J-Dude, also looks cool. He relaxes in the backseat. He eats a bagel. He is surrounded by loose Cheerios and crushed pretzels. He is talking too…in Japanese.
We got a cd and phrase book called “Listen and Learn Japanese.”



We listen to the nice lady say things like:
“Good Morning.”
“My name is “insert your name.”
“Do you speak English?”

We repeat it in Japanese:
Ohayo gozaimasu
Watashi no namae wa Mrs. Kennedy desu
Anata wa eigo o hanashimasu ka?

J-Dude likes to go through the book and put phrases together. Some are more helpful than others:
“Hey Mom, Tasukete! Otearai ga ugoki masen"
“What does that mean?” I'll ask.
“Help! The toilet does not work!”
Ha,ha, ha. J-Dude thinks that is quite funny.
