Peaches and plums are in the same family.

そうですねマーキ先生、humourはやばくて、面白くてユーニークですね。

いいえ、気をつけて帰ってくださいね。Iie, Ki o tsukete kaette kudasai ne.

When you leave someone’s house, you are suppose to say Ojamashimashita. As プチクレアmentioned, the response is not always necessary(it really depends on the situation), but if you want to say something, I would recommend “iie(=No, you didn’t annoyed me at all)”
A: お邪魔しました。 Ojamashimashita.
B: いいえ。また、きてください。Iie. Mata kitekudasai. (Please visit us again)
　or
B: いいえ。気をつけて帰ってくださいね。(Have a safe trip home.)

we haven’t received the videos yet, so they haven’t been available for download at the same time as the rest of the lesson. when we do get them, i’ll update each lesson with missing video vocab. again i’m very sorry for the constant problem and will do my best to make sure we can offer them together.

申し訳ございません　

プチクレアさん、
i think this is like sazae-san. in the country or in traditional families you’ll find it alot. a husband and wife with kids may have to take in the parents of one side (or sometimes both). traditional japanese families can be 3 generations in the same cramped living space. it’s changing these days, but i’ve seen it first hand.

maxさん、

“そうですね！酷いで、二度としないで！”

Hey, that’s a great answer !!!!
You raise a good point. I don’t think you’re supposed to answer (a bit like いらっしゃいませ)…

There seems to be so many people at Fuyukaさん’s house. A Japanese friend of mine was very surprised when he asked me if I was living in my parents’ house and I said I was living on my own (I’m 28…). His first reply was : “Oh really, why ?” He was living with his wife, his 2 kids and his parents.
Is this still that common in Japan ?

So anyway, we all still have a good laugh at it. Now everyone says お邪魔しました as a joke to me, and I always reply with 「そうですね！酷いで、二度としないで！」.

But my question is, what is the “set phrase” that you should respond with when someone says to you 「お邪魔しました」

返事はどうも！ 　親切でやさしい先生がいるからよかったね！(It’s good that we have kind, gentle teachers isn’t it!)
