I Built a Japanese Course So I Can Find a Bathroom in Osaka

My son moved to Japan. We visit in March, and I did not want to be the woman standing in a train station pointing at things and hoping.

So I did what we all do with a personal problem. I turned it into a course. 🙃

It is five Code Blocks and forty-five phrases, and I want to be honest about the scope: this is not a Japanese course. You will not be fluent. You will not be having conversations. You will still be pointing at things sometimes. What you get is enough to find a bathroom, get on the right train, order food, and be polite while you do it.

  • This is so fun SMcNicol​! I feel like this format could be reused for lots of things, too.

    Obviously, traveling to other places, but also it could be a need to know before an event, a crash course on a hobby, like knowing enough lingo before football season starts, etc. 

    We are going to share this in an upcoming Weekly Newsletter. I think it will inspire people to use this format in other ways!
