Your wife doesn’t care about hearing about your daily work stresses, but sometimes you need to get your true feelings off your chest in Japanese. Confide in your colleague, but make sure he isn’t wagging his tongue and sharing your secrets in Japanese behind your back!
In this lesson, you’ll learn some set expressions that use the word 舌 (shita), meaning “tongue.” Our Japanese conversation takes place at a press conference room and is between two colleagues, Kaga and Fukada.
