A & B Talk 104
I want to speak English naturally, not like a textbook! ๐โโ๏ธ๐โโ๏ธ
I want to speak like a native!! Seriously!!๐โโ๏ธ๐โโ๏ธ๐โโ๏ธ๐ฅ๐ฅ
Would you please help me by correcting anything that's wrong or sounds unnatural in my sentences?
You can change whatever you want!
It's alright if you change an entire sentence!!
I'd like to learn some common phrases and slang! ๐
Also, I'd like to get your advice on how to have conversations with English speakers.
I'm looking forward to your constructive criticism.โ๏ธ
B: Excuse me, is there some kind of souvenir shop around here?
A: What kind of thing are you after?
B: Something to remind me of Japan.
A: Gimme a minute. I'll look it up right now.
B: Thank you.
A: Around here, there are a lot of sweets in the basement in this station, but they will be gone after you eat them, right?
B: Yes, I want something memorable.
A: Not really a souvenir, but there is a store called "Candu" in the basement of this station. It doesn't have anything uniquely Japanese, so if you have time, just go there once, handy things for daily life are sold for 110 yen. But it seems this store is kind of small, so I'm not sure if they have a great selection.
B: Oh, thatโs good to know. I'll check it out. Where is the big store?
A: Let's see, Shibuya or Kinshicho. Well, Shibuya is closer from here.
B: Okay, I'll keep that in mind.
A: Also, near this station, there's a department store called Kitte might be nice. It has a variety of stores. Japanese patterned handkerchiefs would be good, like this. (showing his phone)
B: Oh, nice! What was it? Kitte?
A: Yeah, Kitte.
B: kitte. ok, where is it?
A: It's right outside the Marunouchi South Exit! It's this building! (showing his phone)
B: Ok, I'll go there. Thanks.
A: You're welcome. Have a nice day.
B: You too. Bye.
A: Bye.

B: Excuse me, is there some kind ofa souvenir shop around here?
This sounds more natural in the US.
A: What kind of thing are you afteare you looking for?
Again, this is bad grammar but it said a lot in the US.
B: Something to remind me of Japan.
A: Gimme a minute.
I'll look it up right now.
B: Thank you.
A: Around here,In this station there are a lot of sweets in the basement in this station, but they will be gone after you eat them, right?
Again, we don't use the word, "sweets," a lot in the US but I don't know a better word.
B: Yes, I want something memorablewhich will last.
A: NIt's not really a souvenir, but there i's a store called "Candu" in the basement of this station.
It doesn't have anything uniquely Japanese, so, if you have time, just go there once, handy things for dailtry visiting it. Things which are useful for everyday life are sold for 110 yen.
"Handy" sounds to me like a word which isn't used much any more in the US.
But it seemslooks like this store is kind of small, so I'm not sure if they. It doesn't look like it'll have a great selection.
This sounds more natural in the US.
B: Oh, thatโs good to know.
I'll check it out.
WIs there is thea bigger store?
This sounds more natural in the US.
A: Let's see, Shibuya or Kinshicho.
Well, Shibuya is closer from here.
B: Okay, I'll keep that in mind.
A: Also, near this station, there' is a department store called Kitte which might be nice.
It has a variety of storeslot of different stores inside it.
This sounds more natural in the US.
Japanese patterned handkerchiefs would be good, like this.
(showing his phone)
B: Oh, nice!
What was it again?
This sounds more natural in the US.
Kitte?
A: Yeah, Kitte.
B: kKitte.
okOkay, where is it?
A: It's right outside the Marunouchi South Exit!
It's this building!
(showing his phone)
B: Ok, I'll go there.

B: Excuse me, is there some kind ofa souvenir shop around here?
Sounds more natural like this
A: What kind of thingsouvenir are you aftelooking for?
B: Something to remind me of Japan.
A: Gimme a minute.

B: Thank you.
A: Around here, tThere are a lot of sweets around here in the basement in this station, but they will be gone after you eat them, right?
B: Yes, I want something memorablethat will last.
The problem with the sweets isn't that they aren't memorable. You could remember many years later how the sweets tasted. The problem is they don't last beyond the point when you eat them.
A: NIt's not really a souvenir shop, but there is a store called "Candu" in the basement of this station.
It doesn't have anything uniquely Japanese, sobut if you have time, just go there once, h. Handy things for daily life are sold for 110 yen.
Use "but" instead of "so", because "going there" is in opposition to the first thing you said: "It doesn't have anything uniquely Japanese".
Also, the "once" doesn't give any extra information. It is naturally assumed that you'd only be going once
But it seems this store is kind of small, so I'm not sure if they have a great selection.
B: Oh, thatโs good to know.
I'll check it out.
Where iIs there a big store around here?
In this context, you were just talking about a store and then there was a problem with that store which was just brought up: that it's small. So the natural next question is to ask whether a larger store EXISTS around here. Asking "where" assumes that you already know that a larger store exists.
A: Let's see, Shibuya or Kinshicho.
Well, Shibuya is closer fromto here.
I think "well, ..." implies that you are thinking about a response to a question posed by someone else. So it doesn't make sense here.
B: Okay, I'll keep that in mind.
A: Also, near this station, there's a department store called Kitte that might be nice.
It has a variety of stores.
I don't know what you're trying to say here. But a store wouldn't have a variety of stores in it.
Japanese patterned handkerchiefs would be good, like this.
(showing his phone)
B: Oh, nice!
What wais it?
You're using present tense right now.
Kitte?
A: Yeah, Kitte.
B: kitte.
ok, where is it?
A: It's right outside the Marunouchi South Exit!
It's this building!
(showing his phone)
B: Ok, I'll go there.

A: You're welcome.
