Here at home we use "Un peu" instead. I don't remember the reason at the moment.

How often is Kansai-ben (dialect) used in Osaka?
I want to study abroad in Japan and I may go to Osaka. I want to learn standard japanese that is spoken throughout most of the country.
So conversationally how often do Japanese people speak Kansai-ben in Osaka. (I mean in everyday situations and not just in the media.)?
Also how different is kansai-ben and is it frequently written down. (like in textbooks in osaka universities.) ?
Any info from japanese people or people who have studied in japanese universities would be most appriciated!!!!
I was born and have grown up in Tokyo.
People who has grown in Osaka usually speak Kansai-ben.
So many people speak Kansai-ben in Osaka.
But when writing, almost every Japanese people use standard Japanese.
Books are always written in standard one throughout the country.
For non-Japanese people, probably Kansai-ben is rather different from standard.
(Of course, for native, they aren't so different.)
The difference usually appears in the ending of the sentence.
For example,,,
I have to go.(English)
私もう行かないと。(standard japanese)
私もう行かなあかん(Kansai-ben)
Most words are the same, so you don't have to worry so much but
I recommend you to study Kaisai-ben in advance. Some difference acutually exists.
Osaka has many many delicious food! XD
But,,,Osaka people tend to speak rahter fast, especially aged ladies.
And Tokyo is also cool city.=D
I hope your good trip.
