A Rainy Afternoon

It's raining in Kyoto, so Ben and Yui spend the afternoon in an old tea house, talking about what they like. That evening they watch the baseball at Yui's parents' house, where Sota has a question. Say what you like, love and don't really like, ask what someone likes, invite them to watch something, and say what you think.

THE STORY

Ben is better, but Kyoto is grey and wet. Yui finishes work at one, and meets him at an old tea house by a canal, where they sit on cushions, drink green tea, and listen to the rain. With nowhere to go, they talk about what they like. That evening, they watch the baseball on television at Yui's parents' house, and Sota asks Ben a question. This is the conversation you'll be able to say by the end of the lesson.
