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? Do me a favor will you?
A: Sure, what’s happened?
B: How do I get 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... My explanations might be long, 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 did that mean?
A: Oh, well... I'm no expert, so I don't know the clear 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 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 minute. I'll google it.
B: Haha, I'm not much that curious, so there's no need to do.
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, in that order.
B: Oh, I understand.
Anyways, Which do you prefer?
A: Well... I've never been them, haha.
B: Why? You don’t like Sento?
A: I guess if I had to choose, I would say I don't like it. Because I’ve heard a scary story that really happened...
B: I'm all ears.
A: Ok, but I don't care what happens...
B Yeah.
A: This is story I heard from acquaintance. One day the guy started working part-time at a Super sento. And then late one night he was cleaning the bathtub as usual.
However, he felt something 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 had the courage to shift his eyes in that direction, and there it 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 about 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!

I've never been to any of them, haha.
B: Why?
You don’t like Sento?

DCan you do me a favor will your?
Is "Can you do me a favour" also condescending?
May 20, 2022
But in terms of rank, the order seems to be Kenkou land, Super Sento, and Sento, in that orderfrom best to worst.
Is "worst" a bad word?
When I hear "worst", I have an image that there is nothing good about it, but how is it really?
May 20, 2022
A: Ok, but I don't care what happens...
I said it to mean that after you hear my scary story, if you want to hear mine, that's fine, but I don't know if any calamity will befall you. (This line is standard in Japanese because in Japan there are movies where ghosts really appear or calamities befall you when you hear scary stories, but there aren't such a line in the U.S.?)
May 20, 2022
But he had the courage to shift his eyes in that direction, and there it was!
How's this?
↓
He decided to go ahead and turned his head. There was... There was big poos floating in the water.
May 20, 2022
I felt something looking at me...
Well... How do I describe it, haha.
This story is not scary, actually it’s a joke. I mentioned the poop’s gaze in the previous sentence, so that's why this sentence is a metaphor for the joke I just told you.
Does what I'm saying make sense? 😀
May 20, 2022
I'm beginning to fear you.
This one's hard to explain, too.🤔
I looked like a strange person to him, so he said, "I'm beginning to fear you," meaning, "You are a character."
(In Japan, we often use the word "fear" to describe a strange person, and the word "fear" can be used when you are really scared, or it can be used as a joke.)
And there was also an element of word play in "I'm beginning to fear you." I had just told him a scary story, and since I said "I'm getting chills", he jump on the bandwagon of my words and said, "I'm beginning to fear you.
May 22, 2022
Is "Can you do me a favour" also condescending?
no, but "do me a favor will you?" does
May 22, 2022
Is "worst" a bad word? When I hear "worst", I have an image that there is nothing good about it, but how is it really?
not in this context, it just means it's worse than the other two
May 22, 2022
I said it to mean that after you hear my scary story, if you want to hear mine, that's fine, but I don't know if any calamity will befall you. (This line is standard in Japanese because in Japan there are movies where ghosts really appear or calamities befall you when you hear scary stories, but there aren't such a line in the U.S.?)
People generally don't believe anything bad would happen just because they heard a scary story, so it's not common to say this
May 22, 2022
How's this? ↓ He decided to go ahead and turned his head. There was... There was big poos floating in the water.
good:)

oh haha it makes sense now:)
