Tottori, Not Shimane

Over lunch during new-employee training in Tokyo, a young man (A) chats with a colleague (B) who joined the company the same April.

Read the dialogue

Audio recordings are on the way. For now, each lesson is the dialogue with its English translation.

  1. A

    白石しらいしさん、島根しまねの人ひとだよね？

    Shiraishi-san, Shimane no hito da yo ne?

    Ms. Shiraishi, you're from Shimane, right?

  2. B

    島根しまねじゃないよ。

    Shimane ja nai yo.

    I'm not from Shimane.

  3. A

    あ、ごめん、鳥取とっとりだ！

    A, gomen, Tottori da!

    Oh, sorry! It's Tottori!

  4. B

    大丈夫だいじょうぶ、みんなそう言いうよ。

    Daijōbu, minna sō iu yo.

    It's fine. Everybody says Shimane.
