Say it in Japanese

Say each one out loud before you reveal the answer. Getting close counts.

  1. 1. Excuse me, where's the milk?
  2. 2. I don't need a bag, thanks.
  3. 3. Please heat this up.
  4. 4. Do you have a slightly bigger size?
  5. 5. Which one would you recommend?
  6. 6. Can I exchange this?
  7. 7. Friday at seven for four, please.
  8. 8. I can't eat raw fish.
  9. 9. Let's split the bill.
  10. 10. Same as last time, please.
You hear English, then a pause to try it in Japanese. Then the answer plays twice, with time to repeat it after each.
