@momomoko_jp: Not the shoes, not the chopsticks. The five that decide whether the family relaxes around you: 🍚 DINNER — it's cooked for you every night. They'll ask ごはん いる？ (gohan iru?) = eating with us? Say きょうは だいじょうぶです (kyou wa daijoubu desu) = not today, in the morning, not at 8pm. Planning ahead: きょうは そとで たべてきます (kyou wa soto de tabete kimasu). A plate on the table since 7 is the complaint host families mention most 🌙 11 PM — they wait up. Say the time in the morning: きょうは じゅうじに かえります (kyou wa juu-ji ni kaerimasu) = home at 10. Running late? One LINE: おそくなります (osoku narimasu) 🛁 THE BATH — the water is for everyone, and there's an order. Wash outside the tub, soak, leave the water in. Ask once: おふろ、いつ はいれば いいですか (ofuro, itsu haireba ii desu ka) = when should I bathe? 🧃 THE FRIDGE — ask on day one: れいぞうこの もの、たべても いいですか (reizouko no mono, tabete mo ii desu ka). Buy your own snacks; most families give you a shelf 🧺 LAUNDRY — ask before the washer: せんたくき、つかっても いいですか (sentakuki, tsukatte mo ii desu ka). Then ask where things dry — balcony, bathroom rack, or a dryer Save this before you meet them 🔖 📲 Practice おそくなります and きょうは だいじょうぶです out loud — search "Kana Language Partner" in your app store Which one would you have missed? 👇 #homestay #studyabroadjapan #jetprogramme
