PART 3 · LESSON 26 OF 30 · 30 MINUTES

The week, divided

Sunday night in the flat, the chart still on the fridge: Yui is on nights Tuesday and Friday, so Ben will have dinner done, she asks him to do the bath on Wednesday and he says leave it to me, Thursday he is in Kyoto, and the chart he made four years ago is Maple's seat now, so they just talk, as they have for seven years, mostly in Japanese.
