Clothes and sizes
Clothes shops mean sizes, colours and the fitting room. This lesson covers asking for another size or colour, saying what doesn't fit, and leaving politely without buying. One pattern, ～てみる (try it and see), is from Everyday Japanese 3. Tap to hear any line. The bar at the bottom plays a hands-free drill for walking.
