In this episode, we’ll learn useful Japanese phrases that you can use in almost every Japanese lesson — and also in everyday conversations.

Have you ever missed what your teacher said?
Do you want to ask someone to speak more slowly?
Do you know the difference between わかります and わかりました?

Today we’ll practice:

✨ もういちど おねがいします
(One more time, please.)

✨ ゆっくり はなしてもらえますか？
(Could you speak more slowly?)

✨ わかります vs わかりました
(I understand / I got it)

✨ ちょっと わかりません
(A softer way to say “I don’t understand.”)

✨ ○○は にほんごで なんと いいますか？
(How do you say ○○ in Japanese?)

✨ みえますか？ / きこえますか？
(Can you see me? / Can you hear me?)

✨ なるほど！
(Oh, I see! / That makes sense!)

✨ だいじょうぶです
(Okay / No problem / I’m fine / No thank you)

These small phrases will make your Japanese lessons much easier and help you feel more comfortable speaking Japanese.

Perfect for beginner Japanese learners, travelers, and anyone studying Japanese online.
