The food smells so good…maybe no one will notice if you just take a small bite? However, if someone sees you, you may never be invited to your friend’s house again! Maybe if your hosts hear your stomach growling from hunger, they’ll take pity on you and let you eat.

In this lesson, you will learn how to describe others’ feelings using -garu, and you’ll also learn set Japanese phrases to use when visiting someone’s home.
