English is all around us!
These days with all of the foreign tourists, it’s common to hear English while using public transportation. Have you ever tried to join in on a conversation?
A few days ago I was waiting for a train at Kyoto station and I heard some tourists speaking to each other in English:
“Does this train go to Osaka?”
“Uh, Yes, it does.”
“Okay, let’s just take this one.”
I interrupted their conversation by saying, “Excuse me. Are you going to Osaka?”
“Yes. Is this the right train?”
“Yes, this train goes to Osaka but it’s the local train and stops at every station so it will take longer. If you wait a few minutes for the next train, it will be an express and you can get there much faster.”
“Oh thanks! Do we have to pay extra?”
“No, it’s the same price.”
“Thanks so much!”
Actually, I have the same conversation with tourists at Kyoto station almost every month! Most visitors seem to really appreciate this kind of advice from locals.
What would you do in this situation?
One of the common things that tourists say after visiting Japan for the first time is that Japanese people are very kind and helpful and I agree with this 100%.
Let’s talk about this at NOVA! I’d love to hear your stories!
Kind regards,
Andy
