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

Seita
I'll get you the next time.
Seita
Okay.
Seita
Okay. So next, Maestro Lines.
Seita
