All this talk reminded me that I tend avoid Japanese Starbucks shops where international tourists don't tend to frequent. Figuring out how to order various Starbucks drinks with Japanese English (+ pidginized Italian) pronunciation could also do with an explanation here. I mean, I usually just drink "hot-o tea" but if I had to order something other than cak-e/keiki or something else I can point at, I'd be holding up the line and quite amusing for the locals, I'm sure.

Hi all. Wondering if someone could recommend an app or two that would help a first time visitor learn a little Japanese - key phrases, some vocab., etc.? I always like to know a little something of the language when I visit someplace new. I know about Rosetta Stone. Not looking for a full language course (perhaps down the road) right now, just a 'quick and dirty' so I can pick up a few basics. Thanks in advance for your advice. Cheers.
