Allergies (preparing the trip)

こんばんは！ I almost forgot that I have to ask you a very important question regarding my trip to Japan. I'm allergic to anything that goes in a pod and the pod itself (peas and beans), aspirin, and most important, to fava beans. Could you please give me some guidance or tell me how to say that I'm allergic to these things? おねがいします。 Fortunately I can safely eat soy, lentils and chickpeas. おすしとしょゆはすきです ^^ All the same, I always carry with me my medical plaque in Spanish, English and French. どもすみません 理察德。

理察德さん こんにちは！ So you're going to Japan! That must be very exciting for you. Here's how you can form your sentence: _I'm allergic to X. _ わたしは X の アレルギーです。 *Watashi wa X no arerugii desu.* OR _I'm allergic to X. _ わたし　は 　X 　に　たいして アレルギー　が　あります。 *Watashi wa X ni taishite arerugii ga arimasu.* So, for example, if you want to say, _I'm allergic to beans (any kind of beans). _ you can say: わたしは まめるい の アレルギーです。 *Watashi wa MAME-RUI no arerugii desu.* OR わたし は まめるい に たいして アレルギー が あります。 *Watashi wa MAME-RUI ni taishite arerugii ga arimasu.* FAVA BEANS (a.k.a BROAD BEANS) is そらまめ (*SOREMAME*) in Japanese. So say: わたしは そらまめ の アレルギーです。 *Watashi wa SORAMAME no arerugii desu.* OR わたし は そらまめ に たいして アレルギー が あります。 *Watashi wa SORAMAME ni taishite arerugii ga arimasu.* Happy traveling! -Sayaka :P

こにちは　さやかさん！ どもありがとうございました。As always, you are very, very kind. これはむずかしくないですよ (^.^) I still have three more months before the trip, I hope to have chapter 4 finished by that time. BTW, ¡excellent course! and excellent teacher (~_^) じゃまたね！ 理察德 (^.^)

理察德さん, You are very welcome! :P Just to let you know that you are missing one or two Hiragana in there! こ(ん)にちは　さやかさん！ ど(う)もありがとうございました。 Let me know if you any other questions. Sayaka - :P
