ASKING ABOUT JAPANESE (IN JAPANESE)
****If there are corrections or additions I should make to this list, please send me a message!****
So I just started using HelloTalk for Japanese, and found out pretty quickly that asking people to help you IN Japanese gets you MUCH better answers so long as you’re up to the challenge of figuring out slightly more complicated explanations! Here are some ways to do that:
THINGS TO ASK
Can I ask you a question?
ちょっと質問していいですか？
How do you say “_____” in Japanese?
「＿＿＿」は日本語で何と言いますか？
日本語で「＿＿＿」はどうやって言いますか？
What does “_____” mean?
「＿＿＿」の意味はなんですか？
「＿＿＿」って、どういう意味ですか？
Could you please correct my sentences/check them for errors?
文章を直してください/くれませんか/もらえませんか
間違いがあるかどうかチェックしてもらえますか？
What is the difference between “__” and “__”?
「＿＿」と「＿＿」の違いは何ですか？
Which one sounds more natural?
どちらがもっと自然に聞こえますか？
どちらの方が自然ですか？
What kind of situation should I use it in?
どんな場合に使いますか？
Is there another way to say it?
日本語で同じような言い回しがありますか？
How would you say it?
___さんなら、これを何と言いますか？
Do people normally use this word/phrase?
このフレーズ/言葉を普段使いますか？
How do I use (this word/phrase)
「＿＿＿」をどうやって使いますか？
Is it similar to/Is it like “_____,” for example?
「＿＿＿」という事ですか？
「＿＿＿」と同じような意味ですか？
AND IF U DIDNT REALLY GET THEIR CORRECTIONS/COMMENTS:
I’m sorry, I didn’t really understand “_____.” Could you explain it to me?
（すみません、「＿＿＿」はよく分からなくて）、ちょっと説明してもらえませんか？
I’m sorry, would you mind explaining your corrections?
すみません、訂正を説明してもらえませんか？
OTHER TIPS
Say thank you afterward!
The sentences above are mostly starting points. The more you talk to people, the more you’ll notice how people ask things like “Oh, can you explain that thing on the bottom?” or “So it’s okay if I say this instead of this?” etc. etc. But these sentences will help you get on your feet!
What I sometimes like to do if they’re using really complicated Japanese to explain to me, it try to explain it in my own words and then add っていうことですか？ to find out if I’m understanding right!
Challenge yourself by answering Japanese-speakers’s questions in Japanese! You’d be surprised how much you can learn about explaining just by reading explanations!
Good luck! Please let me know if you have any questions! <3 頑張ってください！皆さん何か聞きたいことがあったら、何でも聞いてくださいね！<3

Secrets of Japanese business: 改善 (kai-zen) “continuous improvement”
Kaizen is a Japanese term meaning “change for the better” or “continuous improvement.” It is the Japanese business philosophy of continuously improving operations. Kaizen sees improvement in productivity as a gradual and methodical process.
The kaizen concept asserts that there is no perfect end. Everything can be improved upon, and all employees must strive to evolve and innovate constantly.
Can verify that this actually is a longstanding borrowed term and not just a fad because someone wrote a book. I work in a manufacturing plant and actually manage our kaizen records. See also 5S (‘5S is a workplace organization method that uses a list of five Japanese words: seiri, seiton, seisō, seiketsu, and shitsuke. These have been translated as “sort”, “set in order”, “shine”, “standardize”, and “sustain”. Wikipedia’) and the 7 (now 8) wastes (muda).
