Subject: Asking a Q. about spking Japanese

Question
How do say common responses to common greeting, like saying, "Im good" or "Im not doing so well". Can you also tell me how to say, "Can you teach me to speak Japanese"?, (In japanese)

Answer
Kotoyashii-san,

The responses can vary depending on the question asked. If someone were to ask '(O)Genki desu ka?', you would respond 'Genki desu, [name]-san mo?' If someone were to ask 'Ikaga desh ka?' (more neutral-polite) you might respond 'Ii desu.'

In regards to your translation requestion:

Nihongo o oshieru dekimasu ka?

Hope that helps you :)

Ayu
