You’re as polite as you possibly can be, use the most humble language you can, and even notice your Japanese teacher’s haircut to get on her good side. If this won’t get you the top grade, nothing will?

In this lesson, you will learn how to be extra formal in Japanese using kenjō-go, or “humble language.” Our conversation takes place at a ryokan, or a Japanese inn, between a room steward and a couple who are guests of the inn.
