Now, I love my japanese book, it’s got all these funny manga in it, but I was looking through the glossary the other day, and it contains the following phrases:
“Let’s Go To That Shack”
“May I see it?”
“May I touch it?”
“In Return, Don’t Tell Anyone About Me”
Doesn’t this sound like you’re going to pick up a little kid and use them in not-so-nice ways?
Of course it also contains phrases like “She looks like the Snow Woman,” which makes me wonder when I would ever need to say that in japanese. Oh well, I guess the textbook knows better then I do.
