Key phrase

Student

Sumimasen ga, moo ichido itte itadakemasu ka. Would you please repeat that ?

Mou ichidoo itte itadakemasu ka. / Mou ichido onegaishimasu.

~ wa, douiu imi desu ka. / ~ wa nan desuka.

"Aiueo", no "i" shida san desuka, aru i wa " hahifuheho" no "hi" shida san  desuka.

This is to check if it is Ishida-an, like the "i" in "a,i,u,e,o" or Hishida-san, like the "hi" in "ha, hi, fu, he, ho?"

"Ie" no "i" desuka. "I" like in "ie" ?"
