If you’re traveling in Japan and you’ve just arrived in a new place, how do you go about finding accommodation in Japanese? How do you ask for a good hotel? Perhaps you’re traveling on a budget, in which case you might be looking for a motel or a youth hostel. After this free audio lesson you’ll know how to find suitable accommodation in Japan.
Once you know your options you might need to ask some more questions like “where is?” or “how much?” in Japanese. Stick with the Rocket Japanese team and you’ll have your bags unpacked and your feet up in no time!
Pronunciation help for finding accommodation in Japanese
As hard as you try, without helpful feedback your Japanese pronunciation is never going to be the same as a native speaker’s. If you've found it difficult to perfect the way you say Japanese words and phrases, this lesson will help you.
Using the blue Rocket Record buttons you can record the way you ask each question, and compare it with the way a Japanese native speaker does. That’s right, with Rocket Japanese voice mapping technology you can record your voice as many times as you need until your pronunciation matches the Japanese speaker!
