Learn Japanese with JapanesePod101.com! You know how it goes. You find a really nice girl, she speaks Japanese, and eventually she wants you to meet her family in Japan. This time it’s worse though.

They take turns telling you in Japanese, “You must be the boyfriend. We hope you’re quieter and cooler than the last one. Maybe you’ll be nicer and last longer. Or not.” You hope her father has a good supply of beer. This could be a long weekend…
