First off, I realize this may not be EXACTLY what the forum is meant for, as in it being a bit much. I thought I would take my chance, though, as I'm unable to find anything in your wonderful Rocket Japanese program that will do exactly what I need. (I'm very busy with work and training and studying, so sadly my japanese learning isn't going very fast. :() When I'm at work I always try to do the basic greetings and such in Japanese, which has a huge impact, haha. What I'd like to be able to do is the entire check-in process (Work at a hotel) in japanese. Would appriciate if someone would give me some 'hints' on this, really would. But I understand if it's too much work. What I'd have to be able to say includes. 'I'll need you to fill out the entire blue section (of the registration cards.)' 'Your room number is XXX' 'How would you like to pay for your stay?' 'The key is with the porters at the next desk.' 'Breakfast's on the first floor between 7 and 10, just show the yellow card.' Hope someone for some reason choose to help me out here, would be just fantastic. Thanks in advance. :)

Tarrant san Konnichiwa! We are delighted to hear from enthusiastic Japanese learners like yourself asking great questions! For sure we are here to support your learning experience, please don't hesitate to ask our Rocket Japanese Team any questions! :lol: :idea: Useful Phrases for Check-In: First, I'll give you the Japanese phrases for the English phrases you have asked. (note: I have rephrased some to match the Japanese) :idea: _Please fill out this registration card._ *Kono shukuhaku-kādo ni kinyū shite kudasai.* _Your room number is XXX._ *Anata no o-heya wa ## gō-shitsu desu.* _How would you like to pay for your stay?_ *O-shiharai hōhō wa dō itashimasuka?* _Your (dear customer) key is with the porters at the next desk._ *Okyakusama no kagi wa tonari no pōtā no desuku ni arimasu.* _Breakfast's on the first floor restaurant between 7 and 10. Please show the yellow card._ *Chōshoku wa ikkai resutoran nite shichi-ji kara jyū-ji made desu. Kiiroi kādo o omise kudasai. * And here are some more :D : _Welcome/Can I help you?_ *Yōkoso! Irasshaimase!* _For how many days will your stay be?_ *Nannichikan no go-taizai desu ka.* _When was the reservation made?_ *Go-yoyaku wa itsu nasaimashita ka.* _We have your reservation._ *Go-yoyaku o uketamawatte orimasu.* (formal) _Yes, there is a reservation made. _ *Hai, go-yoyaku ga haitte orimasu. *(less formal) _A double room with a bath, isn't it?_ *Basu tsuki daburu rūmu de gozaimasu ne.*

Konnichiwa rljapan (haha) san! Domo arigato gozaimasu! Really, fantastic help! Now I just need to learn how to pronounce it properly (and say 'Alright, slow down please, I'm still learning' haha) then I'll be flying by when we get Japanese guests. Thank you!

Tarrant san, :idea: Here are a few phrases in case you want a Japanese person to speak slowly or repeat what they have said: *Kurikaeshite kudasai* - _Please repeat it again._ *Mo sukoshi yukkuri onegaishimasu* - _Slow down please, speak slower._ *Nihongo ga sukoshi hanasemasu* - _I can speak a little Japanese._ *Sho sho omachi kudasai* - _Wait just a moment please._ :D

Thank you ever so kindly. One last request; I know the thing with long vowels and such - is there a place in your Rocket Japanese program where I can learn all the grammatics I need to know (such as how and when to pronounce what and how - and what the dash means between two words etc.) Thank you for your help so far, it's been outstanding.
