@kodawari.sensei: "Daijoubu desu" is not always yes. One rule decides it. If they OFFER you something → it means no. If they ask about your STATE → it means yes. "Need a bag?" = no thanks. "Is 10am OK?" = yes. A normal school teaches 大丈夫 as "OK" and stops there. Nobody warns you it is usually a refusal. Your KODAWARI Sensei is a founder, an engineer, a marketer — and a shop assistant, a call centre operator, a clinic nurse. You meet this where it actually happens to you. Most Sensei offer a $1 first lesson. Link in bio. #learnjapanese #japaneselanguage #nihongo #japanlife
