Words, Phrases and Audio
The words and phrases are what I have learned from my High School Japanese class that I saved on flash cards. I am very confident that these are right since my teacher was Japanese and was born in Japan. She had us call her Aoki-sensei.
(Her whole name basically translated to Miss Blue Tree.)
