Japan Train Station Japanese: 40 You'll Hear / You Say Lines + MP3s

Catch your platform, your stop and the word for "delayed" in Japanese station announcements, and say the short polite line back.

Japanese stations talk to you all day: the ticket gate, the platform, the train itself. The announcements are fast, but they follow a fixed pattern. Learn the pattern and you can catch the one word you need. This pack teaches what you will hear (gate voice, platform calls, on-train announcements, station staff) and the polite line you say back, sorted from the ticket machine to the lost-and-found.

All 40 lines come with Japanese (kanji + kana), the kana reading split into listening chunks, romaji, natural English and a "when you will need it" note. Each has an MP3 that plays slowly, chunk by chunk, then at natural speed.

Are these real announcements? They are the standard wording used on JR and Tokyo Metro lines, re-voiced and checked line by line. Exact wording varies a little by company and line.

Does it cover the JR Pass and Suica? It covers what to say and hear at gates and machines. Rules and prices change, so check the official railway sites before you travel.

Whose voice is on the audio? The Pixel Japanese character voices, Sol and Eri.
