I wanna speak natural English, not textbook English!🙇♂️🙇♂️
I wanna speak like a native!! Seriously!!🙇♂️🙇♂️🙇♂️🔥🔥
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！ 🙏
Also, I'd like to get your advice on talking to foreigners.
I look forward to your constructive comments.✍️
B: Excuse me. Could you help me?
A: Sure. What's up?
B: Do you know where to catch the bus to M university?
A: M university? I don't know. Shall I check?
B: Yes, please!
A: Wait a minute.
I found two places, which is it?
Which is it? Ariake or Musashi-sakai?
B: The one in Ariake.
A: Got it!
I think this is it!
It's the 05-2 bus bound for Tokyo Big Sight.
Shall I rewrite it in romaji? And take a picture of it with your cell phone?
B: Yes, please!
A: OK!
Here it is!
B: Thank you!
A: Buses are complicated, so even if you use the app, you might get it wrong, so it's better to tell the bus driver where you're going and make sure the bus goes there!
A: One more piece of advice, don't worry if the bus driver is very punctual, even if you are slowing down because of something you don't understand, he might get angry with you. You don't have to worry about it then, because sometimes that happens and I've been pissed off too.
B: Okay! I'll try not to worry about it.
But you really helped me out!
Thank you very much!
A: You're welcome!
Take care!
B: You too!
Shallould I check?
'shall' is a little formal
A: Wait aOne minute.
I generally use and hear 'one minute' rather then 'wait a minute'. what you put has more connotations with someone who is guilty of something- like if a police officer is talking to a suspect- still can work though.
Thank you very much!
You could change the last few sentences to 'Thank you very much for the help.'- it's a little more concise and gets the same message across.

Really great! Felt like a proper English conversation. Some vocabulary is a little formal but still flows really nicely.

Couldan you help me?
A: Sure.
What's up?
B: Do you know where toI catch then get a bus to M university?
I don't know.
Shallould I check?
'Shall' sounds really formal
B: Yes, pleaseYeah, thanks! or Yeah, thank you!
Although you can say 'yes, please' Saying 'yeah, thanks/ thank you' would sound more casual
A: Wait a minute.
Shallould I rewrite it in romaji?
'shall' is formal
A: One more piece of advicething, don't worry if the bus driver is very punctual, even if you are slowing down because ofgets angry at you for speaking slowly when there's something you don't understand, he might get angry with you.
I'm not really sure what you meant when you used 'punctual' here
You don't have to worry about it then, because sometimes that happens and I've been pissed off too.
B: Okay!
I'll try not to worry about it.
But you really helped me out!
Thank you veryso much!
They're both right but 'thank you so much' sounds more natural

This sentence means Japanese bus drivers are strict about time, and will get angry even if you're just slogging along because you don't understand something.
