Japanese 101 - Vocabulary: Places 1

I've decided to share one more lesson with you all today (well, today in my time zone)
My plans for Sunday are: Particles, some Basics, the Group 2 and Group 3 Verbs, and potential form.

Words for places
Adding Ya (や - 屋) after nouns can designate it as a store that sells that noun. This will work in many cases
