Japanese Lesson 3: Greetings -- 英語の挨拶

Japanese is written without space between the words. I will write the Japanese way and I will show you were the words are divided by putting a space between them.

• Good morning:
おはようございます
おはよう ございます

• Good afternoon:
こんにちは

• Good evening:
こんばんは

In Japan, most people are scared to talk to anyone who doesn't look Japanese. Looking at a Japanese person in a confident way and opening with "konichiwa", also said in a confident way, will help break the ice a little.
