Create compact phrase cards for the supplied real-world scenario and learner.

Scenario and intents:
[scenario]

Language and learner:
[language]

Card rules:
[cards]

Organize cards by the actual interaction sequence and communicative intent, not a generic vocabulary list. Include opening, request, essential detail, likely counterpart reply, comprehension check, clarification, correction, refusal or boundary, fallback, and closing when relevant. Each card must show target phrase, accurate learner-language meaning, register and usage condition, pronunciation or transliteration only in the approved system, replaceable slots, one likely reply to recognize, and a short response. Prefer short natural phrases that a learner can retrieve under pressure. Distinguish a polite request from a guarantee, permission, emergency instruction, legal rule, or local fact. Do not invent schedules, prices, policies, addresses, cultural rules, or emergency numbers; mark variable facts for verification. Avoid word-for-word translation when unnatural, while preserving intent. Add minimal-pair or substitution drills, a quick lookup index, and a reviewer checklist for accuracy, locale, script, politeness, and safety.

Actual input

Scenario and intents: Japanese phrases for a visitor at a fictional railway service counter. Goals in order: greet; explain that a reserved-seat ticket shows the wrong travel date; state the intended date 18 October; ask whether it can be changed; understand that staff need to inspect the ticket and may explain a fee or say a change is not possible; ask them to repeat slowly; confirm the amount and new date before agreeing; decline politely if needed; ask where to go next; close. No actual operator, station, schedule, fee, refund rule, or emergency. Variable facts must remain blanks or verification prompts.
Language and learner profile: Target Japanese used in Japan. Learner is Mandarin-speaking, CEFR-equivalent beginner, reads hiragana and basic kanji but not all counters. Use Japanese script plus Hepburn romanization without macrons and concise Simplified Chinese. Polite service-counter register. No dialect. Keep phrases under about 15 Japanese words when possible. Large-text-friendly layout.
Card and verification rules: 12 cards grouped Find, Explain, Understand, Decide, Close. Front: intent plus Japanese. Back: Chinese, romaji, use note, slot, likely reply and response. A Japanese teacher will review; mark operator-specific terms and rules unverified. Avoid claiming ‘must refund’ or quoting a fee. Include two substitution drills and quick index.

Intent and interaction order make phrases retrievable at the moment they are needed

Reply recognition and repair phrases prepare the learner for dialogue rather than one-way recitation
