The Japanese currency has recently fallen to a 25-year low, which must have changed a lot for those who like to travel to Japan. Although Japan will open Taiwan for travel from 6/10, it is only for tour groups, not individuals, and you will also need to be quarantined after returning to the country, so most people may not be interested. Although we don’t know when we can return to the normal travel time of the past, it shouldn’t be too far away. Before that, you might as well use the “Color Picture Real Travel Japanese” app to learn some commonly used Japanese words and sentences for travel, so that when it is truly open, you can enjoy visiting Japan. There are iOS and Android versions.
Real-life travel Japanese with color pictures, learn vocabulary and dialogues commonly used in Japanese travel
Color Picture Real Travel Japanese App has not been updated for a while, but it can still be used in the latest operating system version, but it may occasionally crash. In addition, the free version can only learn the first 6 Japanese travel themes, and the other 17 need to be upgraded to the paid version. You can try it out first, and then consider if you think it is good:
Topics that can be learned in the free version include “At the Airport”, “On the Plane”, “Immigration/Transit”, “Exchange Foreign Currency”, “Taking a Taxi”, “Taking the Shinkansen, Train or Subway”.
The themes provided for a fee are also quite good, such as: “rent a car”, “ask for directions”, “room service”, “visit the supermarket”, “at the post office”, “check in at the hotel” and so on.
For example, when taking the Shinkansen, tram or subway, after entering the inner page, you will see all the commonly used words, such as station, platform, ticket gate, locker, carriage, route map, these are some words you may use:
Click on any word to listen to the Japanese pronunciation, so it doesn’t matter if you don’t know how to pronounce the word, just memorize the rough pronunciation. Of course, it would be best if you can learn the 50 tones first, so that your pronunciation will be standard:
In addition to commonly used words, it also provides extended words for this theme, such as ticket office, location, fare, vehicle type, and driving, aisle seat, window seat, first-class carriage, etc. It is definitely enough for you to learn:
Next is the practical conversation, which will give you a situational conversation that fits the theme. For example, if there is a Shinkansen or a tram, you will ask if there is a car that can go where, what time, and how much it costs:
There are also practical examples, which I think are quite good and more practical than conversational sentences. With this app, you know how to ask “Where is the nearest station?” “Which bus should I take to Ginza (or other places)?” and “Is it possible to make a reservation?” When traveling to Japan in the future, if you suddenly forget how to speak, you can also directly open this app and show it to the other party:
The supplementary information also contains some practical teachings, such as what kind of transportation should you take for a short trip in Japan:
For some words and sentences that you think are important, commonly used, or often forgotten, you can add them to bookmarks so that you can quickly check them again in the future:
