Joel’s example of ください would be sufficient, but there’s also another alternative with おねがいします. It is used the same way without the を and is just a more formal way or way to be extra polite to people that are going to be handling your food.
Listening skills are perhaps the most intimidating part of the JLPT if you have not been immersed for a good period of time. If you don’t have Japanese speaking friends, I really recommend using JapanesePod101′s podcasts. There are many different levels and they do a very decent job of breaking down the conversations for you. Pair this with other forms of input like Japanese dramas and radio shows and give it time. Even if you know every word in a sentence you will have a difficult time understanding a native speaker without attuning your ears to the different sounds and accents.
I normally just bookmark the last page I read.
Thanks for the replies. That was my impression but it had me confused for a little while so I wanted to see what others thought.
What does it mean for a sentence to begin with と? As in the following sentence:
と、僕は聞いた。
I understand it is a guy saying he asked a question (it was preceded by the quoted question he asked), however the と at the beginning throws me off, it doesn’t work as “And” or “With”.
