All I would like you to do is translate these simple English sentences into Japanese.

-I am looking for...

-I do not speak Japanese. I only speak English.

-Can I please talk to someone who speaks English

Please help out. Thanks!

By the way...please spell it out in English syllable. Watashi wa osaka desu ne etc.


vowel sounds:
a = ah papa
i = ee sound. e sound in "peter"
u= oo sound pool
e= e in pet
o= oh polar

-I am looking for:

"[NAME] wa imas ka"

-I do not speak Japanese.

"Nihongo wakarimasen"

-I only speak English. (though I don't think you'll need this)

"Eigo dake des."

-Can I please talk to someone who speaks English

"Eigo o wakaru hito imasu ka"
"Eigo o wakaru hito kudasai"

Good luck!
