Hi again. Niko here.

This week’s prompt

Something is broken in your hotel room. You call the front desk.

(Feel free to choose whatever thing is broken — lights not turning on, shower not draining, toilet being clogged, etc. Or you can change the prompt slightly and request something, if you’d rather.)

* You can submit a response in Japanese here. *

Please try to submit your response within 48 hours of receiving this email. Please only write one response per form submission.

Corrections will arrive in your inbox next week.

Last week’s corrections

Your friend just picked you up at the airport for your trip to Japan, and now you’re both on the train. They ask you if there is anything in particular you want to do while you’re in town.

別に。
べつに。
Not really.

Or maybe:

回転ずし行きたい。
かいてんずし いきたい。
I want to go to a conveyor-belt sushi place.

Nice and simple responses. It would have been fun to write longer ones, but… maybe next time.

Here’s Satoko with feedback:
