Subject: (Java Shogi) Help JapanPhrases needed ... (Shogi Promotion)

On JavaShogi server I sometimes run into players with whoom I
can't get away with using english. Can someone provide me with
a list of basic Japanese phrases (in the roman alphabet version
of Japanese) Here is a sample of what I could use. (After the
do you speak english appears to fail.)


 - Can you use Roman characters instead of Kanji/Kana?
 - Thanks for the game.
 - What city are you in?
 - I live in Ottawa?
 - Wicked Move!
 - Looks like I am about to lose soon.
 - Look forward to playing again.
 - How long have you played shogi.
 - My Japanese is extremely limited.
 - Don't know how I missed that.
 - ... You get the idea.

self appointed president of the Ottawa Shogi club. (Until
my members realize this and impeach me.)
