Japanese greetings -for beginner-

Today's lesson is Japanese greeting!


U know the respect is very important for Japanese. Greeting is one of them. I think most Japanese language school teaches only formal sentence ,but sometimes I'll teach casual sentence and some slangs.


*formal/casual

おはようございます/おはよう - good morning
