First, take a deep breath, relax, and remember that it does happen. Let’s face it: language barriers and cultural differences can lead to misunderstandings on both sides. Also remember that in Japan, it’s important not to only speak your mind, but also try to understand the feelings and culture of Japan and your Host Family. Also, feel free to talk to us at Homestay in Japan and we’ll do our best to help you work out any problems you encounter and what to do next. Problems can often be a learning experience.
