As we're all learning Japanese, we're bound to encounter many situations where we just won't understand a word, a phrase or even complete sentences. Even for those fluent in Japanese, there are numerous situations where there's a need to ask for someone to slow down and repeat what they just said or to go over what they meant. This lesson, Erin teaches you these valuable phrases to say when you're in that confused state of not understanding!
