So, my friend, who's studied Japanese for about four years, might just get to go to Japan for two weeks as a guide for some adults. She's invited me to come with her, because i'm good at handling people.

Alas, I do not speak any Japanese besides basic introduction of my name and the ability to say 'I speak no japanese!'.

So, any recommendations for good places to get speaking Japanese basics that would serve well for dealing with retail, basic conversation, ordering tickets, that sort of thing? My friend can read lots of kanji, so getting around shouldn't be a problem.
