Seita

Welcome to AERA English TV's Native Maestro.

Seita

I am your maître d' Seita.

Seita

And this program is designed to help you become the native maestro.

Seita

Okay, today's Native Hook.

Seita

The Native Hook is a good conversation piece that you can use with people...

Seita

...and make the conversation exciting.

Seita

Today's topic is about:...

Seita

..."Who pays for lunch or dinner?"

Seita

So, when you eat out and you order lots of food,...

Seita

...and it comes time for somebody to pay,...

Seita

...in Japan, a lot of people go Dutch.

Seita

You pay pretty exactly how much you ate for.

Seita

But in the States, we don't really do that so often.

Seita

We basically buy for each other.

Seita

We basically pay for each other because,...

Seita

...you know, it goes around.

Seita

And a lot of times, a lot of people pay for you.

Seita

And at the end, you pay too.

Seita

So there's a good balance.

Seita

So that's a little difference between the States and Japan.

Seita

Alright.

Seita

Okay, today's Maestro Menu.

Seita

It's on me.

Seita

It's on me.

Seita

It's on me today.

Seita

I'll get you the next time.

Seita

I'll get you the next time.

Seita

Okay.

Seita

Okay. So next, Maestro Lines.

Seita

Hey guys! It's on me today.

Seita

Oh thanks! Okay, I'll get you the next time.

Seita

Okay, that's it for today.

Seita

Seita
