PART 3 · LESSON 21 OF 30 · 30 MINUTES

An idea

Ben has an idea for the company, tours that stay in small family inns, and he brings it to Mr. Okada's desk with Ms. Nishimura beside him. He opens with a hedge, asks whether it would be a good idea, and is told to present it to the president, after he has written it down. He phones the Hanaya, where Kenta says to ask Grandma, and at home Yui asks the nurse's question. Say I have a proposal, how about tours that stay in family inns, I think it is worth considering, and what if the inn is full.
