Please teach me some basic Japanese.

I would like to introduce some expression in Japanese. First, when you ask how much something costs, you use ikura desuka? Ikura means price. Next, when you surprise the cost of your shopping item, you use takasugimasu. Takasugimasu means that's too expensive. If you visit Japan, try to use these expressions during shopping.

I would like to introduce some expressions in Japanese. First, when you ask how much something costs, you use ikura desuka? Ikura means price. Next, when you are surprised by the cost of your shopping item, you use takasugimasu. Takasugimasu means that's too expensive. If you visit Japan, try to use these expressions while shopping.

1. "some" should be followed by the plural noun here.
2. The meaning of "you surprise the cost of your shopping item" doesn't fit here. We could use "you are surprised by the cost of your shopping item". "Surprised" is an adjective here. "Surprise" is a verb.
3. We usually use "while" when we refer to two activities done at the same time.
It is my first time hearing those words, so it's a bit difficult for me to pronounce them. Can you teach me some more basic Japanese words, like "thank you"?

Well, I will teach you two ways to say thank you in Japanese. The most common expression is arigato. The other one is a dialect in Osaka, the second largest city of Japan. You say ookini. As I live in Tokyo, I usaually say arigato in everyday conversation.

Well, I will teach you two ways to say thank you in Japanese. The most common expression is arigato. The other one is a dialect in Osaka, the second-largest city in Japan. You say ookini. As I live in Tokyo, I usually say arigato in everyday conversation.

1. "second-largest" is a compound adjective, and we usually hyphenate such adjectives.
2. The preposition 'in' is required here. A city is in a country.
3. Proper spelling of the word.
I see. That is really interesting. I am learning a lot. Can you teach me some more Japanese expressions? What do you say when you get surprised or shocked?

Bikkuri or bikkuri shita is the most common expression. Bikkuri means surprized. Actually, bikkuri is often used in daily conversation. It's a cusual expression. Regarding the writing scripts, odoroita is used.

2. Proper spelling of the word.
Okay. Do you pronounce it as you read it? Can you use it in a sentence so that I can understand better?

Yes, I do. For example, since it was my first earthquake in Japan, I was surprised is an English sentence. You say jishin de bikkuri shita. Learning something in a new language is an interesing challenge, isn't it?

1. You expressed yourself well here. There is nothing to correct, so this is an alternative expression we could use in this context - "to illustrate".
2. Proper spelling of the word.
