The convenience store
Konbini staff ask the same few questions very fast: heat it up? chopsticks? separate bags? This lesson covers those, paying with a card or IC card, and the services you can use there, from parcels to bills. A few lines use ～たい (want to) and the can-form from Everyday Japanese 3. Tap to hear any line. The bar at the bottom plays a hands-free drill for walking.
G
25 konbini words and lines
Each card shows a word, the form to use, and a sentence from the konbini. Staff lines are marked. Eight reuse words from earlier lessons.
M
What you'll hear at the konbini till
These come one after another while the staff scan your things. A short yes or no is all they need.
| Staff say | It means | You say |

- Yes and no. If you're not sure what was asked, means yes and means no thanks.
- More than a shop. At most konbini you can send and collect parcels, pay bills, top up an IC card, take out cash and print documents.
- Grammar note. (want to send) and (can pay) are from Everyday Japanese 3.
