I wanna speak natural English, not textbook English!๐โโ๏ธ๐โโ๏ธ
I wanna speak like a native!! Seriously!!๐โโ๏ธ๐โโ๏ธ๐โโ๏ธ๐ฅ๐ฅ
Could you please help me by correcting anything that's wrong or unnatural in my sentences?
You can change the order of the sentences, or do whatever you want!
I'd like to learn some common phrases and slang๏ผ ๐
Also, I'd like to get your advice on talking to foreigners.
I look forward to your constructive comments.โ๏ธ
B: Excuse me, may I have a word?
A: Sure! What's up?
B: Do you know where to catch the bus to M university?
A: M university? Oh, sorry. I have no idea, I can look it up if you want.
B: Yes, please!
A: Wait a minute.
B: I'm sorry, I can't find it.
If you don't have time, I'll call the bus company and I'll ask someone else in the meantime.
B: Oh! Thank you, but I'll wait.
That's really helpful.
A: Okay, just wait a little longer.
Okay, maybe I found it! I think this is it!
It's the 05-2 bus bound for Tokyo Big Sight.
I think there is a bus stop nearby, so let's look for it together!
B: Yes, please!
A: Okay, lt's go!
A: By the way, have you ever taken a bus in Japan?
B: No, I have not.
A: I've never been on an American bus either, so I don't know if they are the same, but in Japan, depending on the bus, you pay in advance or when you get off, and whether you get on from the front door or the back, so you have to judge by looking at the people getting on or ask them!
Also, when you get off the bus, there will be an audio or guidance message somewhere when you get close to your destination, so press the button when you see it!
B: Oh, I've learned a lot. Thanks.
What should I do if I press the wrong button?
A: Just say, "ใใฟใพใใใ้้ใใฆใใฟใณใๆผใใกใใใพใใ".
B: Let me write it down, what was it?
A: "ใใฟใพใใใ้้ใใฆใใฟใณใๆผใใกใใใพใใ"..
B: Thank you very much.
A: One more piece of advice, many bus drivers are very punctual, so if you are just slowing down because of something you don't understand, they may get angry with you, but no biggie.
I've been pissed off more than once. So in that case, no worries.
B: Okay! Thank you for your advice.
A: Anytime.
Can I go ask the station staff where it is?
B: Sure!
A: I think I understand where it is!
It's this way!
A: Oh, there's the bus roundabout!
Find the letters for Tokyo Big Sight!
B: Got it!
What bus number was it?
A: 05-2
Find the bus to Tokyo Big Sight or 05-2!
B: Got it!
A: Maybe it's that one. Oh, okay. Found it! This is it.
B: Oh, thank you very much!
A: No problem at all, it's in 15 minutes, and it's scheduled to leave at 15:26, but since it's a bus, it often doesn't come exactly on time, it's just a schedule, so don't worry about it.
B: Okay! That's really helpful! Thank you very much!
A: Not at all! It was fun. It was so nice to meet you! Enjoy the rest of your trip!
B: Oh, Thank you!
A: Then take care!
B: You too!

I look forward to your constructive commentsriticism.โ๏ธ
The phrase "constructive criticism" is used a lot in English. "Constructive comments" isn't necessarily incorrect, but your English is so good I decided to be nitpicky!
B: Excuse me, may I have a word?
A: Sure!
What's up?
B: Do you know where to catch the bus to M university?
A: M university?
Oh, sorry.
I have no idea,. I can look it up if you want.
B: Yes, please!
A: Wait a minuteGive me one second.
"Wait a minute" is usually a phrase implying "Oh I've just realized something." For example, someone might say "Wait a minute. Have I met you before?" implying "I'm just now realizing that I might have met you before." "Give me one second" is the more common, casual phrase meaning "I need you to wait." Although in reality it would be pronounced more quickly like "Gimme one second."
B: I'm sorry, I can't find it.
Is this supposed to be A speaking?
If you don't have time, I'll call the bus company and I'll ask someone else in the meantime.
This sounds more fluent.
B: Oh!
Thank you, but I'll wait.
That's really helpful.
A: Okay, just wait a little longer.
Okay, maybe I found it!
I think this is it!
It's the 05-2 bus bound for Tokyo Big Sight.

B: Yes, please!
A: Okay, let's go!
A: By the way, have you ever taken a bus in Japan?
B: No, I have non't.
This is more casual.
A: I've never been on an American bus either, so I don't know if they a're the same, but in Japan, depending on the bus, you pay in advance or when you get off, and whethersometimes you get on fromusing the front door orand sometimes you go through the back, so you have to judgefigure it out by looking at the people getting on or asking them!
Super nitpicky. This is closer to how I would say it. But your English is genuinely so good!!
Also, when you get off the bus, there will be an audio or guidance message somewhere when you get close to your destination, so press the button when you see it!
B: Oh, I've learned a lot.
Thanks.
What should I do if I press the wrong button?
A: Just say, "ใใฟใพใใใ้้ใใฆใใฟใณใๆผใใกใใใพใใ".
I don't know Japanese buuut the English part is correct!
B: Let me write ithat down, w. What was it again?
A lot of people would add "again" to the end of your second sentence. That sounds more native. But it's not incorrect to leave it out.
A: "ใใฟใพใใใ้้ใใฆใใฟใณใๆผใใกใใใพใใ"..
B: Thank you very much.
A: One more piece of advice,: many bus drivers are very punctual, so if you are justsk them to slowing down because of something you don't understand, they may get angry with you, but it's no biggie.
I've been pissed off more than once.
Do you mean that A has been angry before? Then your sentence is correct. Or do you mean that A has made a bus driver angry before? Then your sentence should be something like "I've pissed off a bus driver more than once."
So in that case, it's no worries.
Saying "it's no worries" is technically grammatically incorrect? But that's how a native speaker would say it.
B: Okay!
Thank you for yourthe advice.
A: Anytime.
Can I go ask the station staff where it is?
B: Sure!
A: I think I understand where it is!
It's this way!
A: Oh, there's the bus roundabout!
Find the letters for Tokyo Big Sight!
B: Got it!
What bus number was it again?
As before, "again" is optional but it sounds more native to add it.
A: 05-2
Find the bus to Tokyo Big Sight or 05-2!
B: Got it!
A: Maybe it's that one.
Oh, okay.

This is it.
B: Oh, thank you very much!
