I wanna speak like a native!! Seriously!!🙇♂️🙇♂️🙇♂️🔥🔥
Could you please help 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.✍️
By the way, "A" is me and "B" is a foreigner.
B: Excuse me? Could you do me a favor?
A: Sure, what happened?
B: How do I get to the bathhouse? Uh~, sento?
A: Oh, yeah! Sento.
B: Do you know the way?
A: So do you know the name of that place?
B: Oh, forgot to say...wait a sec. Well, Yunoizumi Kenkou Center.
A: Oh, I know. It's a little different from a sento, but putting that aside... Anyways, well... How can I say directions...
B: Can you draw a map?
A: Oh, sorry. I'm rubbish at drawing, haha,
Well... It might be hard to explain, so if you want, I can show you.
B: Oh, that would be great, thank you!
A; You’re welcome.
This way then. Let’s go.
B: Yes, let’s go.
Anyways, back to what you were talking about before, like sento and Kenkou Center are different. What does that mean?
A: Oh, well... I'm no expert, so I don't know the strict difference, so this is just my personal opinion, a Sento is like having only a bath, while Kenkou Center is like having a restaurant, karaoke, ping-pong, comic book room, and various other facilities. Japanese people generally call it a Kenkou land.
B: Oh, I see.
Then, what’s the difference between Kenkou land and Super Sento?
A: Well... I don’t know, haha.
Give me a minute. I'll google it.
B: Haha, I'm not much that curious, so there's no need to do that.
A: I'll look into it just in case it might be something to talk about, haha.
You can also put it in your knowledge.
Since you came all the way to Japan, so here's a present from me, haha.
I'm sure that will help you in the future.
A child might say, "Dad! What's the difference between a Super Sento and a Kenkou Center?!" you will be able to answer it with your head held high.
B: Yeah, could be, haha.
A: Oh, I see.
Legally, they are the same, it's says. But in terms of rank, the order seems to be Kenkou land, Super Sento, and Sento, from best to worst.
B: Oh, I understand.
Anyways, Which do you prefer?
A: Well... I've never been to any of them, haha.
B: Why? You don’t like Sento?
A: I guess if I had to decide, I would say I don't like it. Because I’ve heard a scary story true about it...
B: I'm all ears.
A: Ok, but I don't know if any calamity will befall you"...
B Yeah.
A: I heard this story from an acquaintance. This story was the guy started working part-time at a Super sento. He was cleaning the bathtub one late night as usual.
However, he felt something is different from the usual atmosphere. He felt like something was watching him. And he shifted his eyes a little bit in that direction. And there was a shadow in the tub. But he decided to go ahead and turned his head. There was... There was big poos floating in the water.
He said that on average, he sees it once a week... Oh, I'm getting chills. I felt something looking at me...
B: Yeah, yeah. I got it, haha.
I'm beginning to fear you.
A: Anyways, while I'm telling this dumb story, we're here.
B: Oh, thank you so much! You helped me a lot!
A: You"re welcome. If you ever wanna hear another scary story, look for me.
B: Ok, I'll do that, haha.
A: Ok then, have a good trip!
B: Yes! Take care!
A: You too!
B: Oh, I forgot to say...wait a sec.
Even in casual speech, it sounds better with the pronoun.
It's a little different from a sento, but putting that aside... Anyways, well... How can I say directionsexplain how to get there...
It might be hard to explain, so if you want, I can show you the way.
A little clearer this way.
Anyways, back to what you were talking about before, likeabout how sento and a Kenkou Center are different.
I'm no expert, so I don't know the strict difference, so this is just my personal opinion, but a Ssento is like having onlya place where you just take a bath, while a Kenkou Center is like havinghas a restaurant, karaoke, ping-pong, comic book room, and various other facilities.
B: Haha, I'm not much that curious, so there's no need to do that.
Another option that sounds a bit more natural in this context: Haha, it's okay, it doesn't matter that much, so there's no need to do that.
You can also putadd it into your knowledge.
Because I’ve heard a scary story true about it...
A: Ok, but I don't know if any calamity will befallsomething bad will happen to you"...
Not totally sure what person A wants to communicate here, but the original sentence uses very formal vocabualry (which could be okay if it's being said this way as a joke, but would sound unnatural otherwise).
This story was the guyis from a guy who started working part-time at a Super sento.
However, he felt something iwas different from the usual atmosphere.
But he decided to go ahead and turned his head.
There wasere big pooturds floating in the water.
You could say "poos" but "turds" sounds more natural to me.
I'm beginning to fear youYou're starting to scare me.
Original is okay too, but this sounds more natural to me.
A: Anyways, while I'm was telling this dumb story, we're here arrived.
Feedback
This sounded great and very natural overall. I made a few small suggestions, but what you originally wrote is perfectly comprehensible and sounds very good.
B: Yeah, could be, haha. |
A: Oh, I see. |
