[Japanese speaking phrase] 〜とか, etc

Today, I’m going to share an everyday conversational phrase. Let’s learn it quickly and start using it right away!

 

——-Today’s Phrase——-

____とか
etc.

 

By using 〜とか, you can provide specific examples to elicit detailed information from the other party or subtly express your own opinions.

 

Let’s practice:

何(なに)か飲(の)まない?コーヒーとか
Would you like something to drink? Like coffee, perhaps?

 

週末(しゅうまつ)は何(なに)をしているんですか。散歩(さんぽ)とか
What do you do on weekends? Perhaps, going for a walk?

 

プレゼントなら、サングラスとかどうですか。
If you’re thinking about a gift, how about something like sunglasses?

 

 

In my speaking course, you can master authentic spoken Japanese, like the ones above! The course uses everyday Japanese and will help you become comfortable chatting in situations where various topics might arise.

In the speaking course, if you submit your homework, you’ll learn the correct pronunciation and intonation. Daily feedback from your teacher will also help you stay committed to the course.

Improve Your Japanese Speaking Skills in 90 days

Are you learning Japanese and finding it challenging to boost your speaking skills? Just like my JLPT courses, this speaking course is designed with a “daily self-training + teacher support” model. It allows you to practice speaking at your own pace, even when you don’t have time for a formal session with a teacher. The key to rapidly improving your speaking skills is consistency – practicing a little each day is far more effective than cramming a lot into sporadic sessions.
