[0:06](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/crvxPV09l6u0/en/japanese-corrections-speaking-japanese-and-saying-ten-months-ago?t=6) Sir, um… if you say, “Nihongo hanasemasu ka,” “Watashi” means you’re asking yourself, “Can I” “speak Japanese?”

[0:15](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/crvxPV09l6u0/en/japanese-corrections-speaking-japanese-and-saying-ten-months-ago?t=15) Give me a round of applause. That’s weird, sir.

[0:18](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/crvxPV09l6u0/en/japanese-corrections-speaking-japanese-and-saying-ten-months-ago?t=18) The grammar is all over the place, sir. The correct version is “Dashi wa nihongo” “hanashimasu yo,” or you can drop the particle to make it shorter: “Dashi nihongo hanashimasu yo” is enough. No need to ask yourself questions, okay?

[0:29](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/crvxPV09l6u0/en/japanese-corrections-speaking-japanese-and-saying-ten-months-ago?t=29) And then this one. Ju-jutoshi gure ka mae.

[0:35](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/crvxPV09l6u0/en/japanese-corrections-speaking-japanese-and-saying-ten-months-ago?t=35) Jutoshi ki ra ono, onone njotos. I mean, what he really wants to say is “ten months ago,” which means “juukage jimae.”

[0:42](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/crvxPV09l6u0/en/japanese-corrections-speaking-japanese-and-saying-ten-months-ago?t=42) He wants to ask when this program started being recommended.

[0:46](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/crvxPV09l6u0/en/japanese-corrections-speaking-japanese-and-saying-ten-months-ago?t=46) Itsuka ka kono yarikataga osusume sareteiru ndesuka, or itsuka ka kono yarikataga osusume sareru you ni nattan desuka.

[0:56](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/crvxPV09l6u0/en/japanese-corrections-speaking-japanese-and-saying-ten-months-ago?t=56) That's the simple version. There are other words we can use too.

[0:59](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/crvxPV09l6u0/en/japanese-corrections-speaking-japanese-and-saying-ten-months-ago?t=59) Just to make it easy for us to understand, let's use simple words first.

[1:02](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/crvxPV09l6u0/en/japanese-corrections-speaking-japanese-and-saying-ten-months-ago?t=62) Sorry if you still can't quite do it yet.

[1:05](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/crvxPV09l6u0/en/japanese-corrections-speaking-japanese-and-saying-ten-months-ago?t=65) No need to ask for applause, sir. It's okay if you get it wrong, that's okay.

[1:09](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/crvxPV09l6u0/en/japanese-corrections-speaking-japanese-and-saying-ten-months-ago?t=69) It's like getting every answer wrong on a test, but the teacher gives you a hundred anyway.
