“Lucky you!”
Hello, everyone. Let’s start right away. First, please answer with “Well, I don’t know”.

1. Is this smartphone John san’s?
→ Well, I don’t know.
2. Do you know if John san will come to the drinking party tomorrow?

[00:37 ]
Next, it’s about Japanese manners. Please answer with “Really? I didn’t know it.”
[00:47 ]
1. You shouldn’t stick your chopsticks upright into your rice in Japan.
→ Really? I didn’t know it.
2. Do you know, you shouldn’t lick your chopsticks.

Well, did you see the difference between “Shirimasen“ and ”Shirimasen deshita“?
[01:22 ]
“Shirimasen deshita” implies; I didn’t know it but I know it NOW because of the question. When you know it, off course, you say “shitteimasu” (not shirimasu).
[01:35 ]

→ That’s right. I know.
[01:46 ]
