Kenta, what is today's topic?
Buying medicine at a pharmacy!
That is a very important topic!
Japanese pharmacies are very spacious.
There are lots of medicines.
They have water and snacks too!
Yes, they have everything available!
Let's communicate what medicine we want!
It is great to express it with words!
I was a little nervous at first too.
Hehe, you will be totally fine!
If you learn the phrases, you will feel at ease!
What kind of phrases do we have?
Today, we have six phrases!
Number one: Do you have headache medicine?
Number two: Do you have the smaller one?
Number three: Does it make you sleepy?

That is right! They are very convenient!
Actually, last week, I went to a pharmacy.
Oh, what happened?
I studied for a long time.
My head started to hurt a little.
That must have been tough!
But I was able to speak politely!
Was the store staff kind too?
Yes, they were very kind!
Is that so! Let's listen to your story!
It was Tuesday afternoon last week.
I was reading books in my room.
You studied for a long time, didn't you?
My head started to hurt.
Oh dear, taking breaks is important too.
After resting a little, I went out.
I went to the pharmacy in front of the station.
It was a store with a blue sign.
Near the station is very convenient!
I opened the door and went inside.
There was a staff member in a white coat.
Did they look gentle and kind?
Yes, they were a very kind person!
'Do you have headache medicine?'
I asked politely.
You told them what medicine you needed!
They took medicine down from the shelf for me.
The box was large and had a lot.
For one person, it is a bit too much, right?
'Do you have the smaller one?'
I asked for a small box.
A small box is easy to carry!
They showed me a small box.
That is just the right size!
'Does it make you sleepy?'
Because I wanted to study in the afternoon too.
That is definitely a point you want to ask about!
They checked the box and explained it to me.
I felt very relieved.
'Do I take it after meals?'
When you take it is very important!
I listened to the explanation on the box.
They explained it so politely for you!
I bought water together too.
I said, 'I will take this one, please.'
And then I went to the register.
You decided quickly!
'Can I pay with a card?'
Because I had little change.
Cards are very helpful!
