Exercise 6: Thanking Once Again

  Your response has been submitted to speechactstrategies@gmail.com.

u        The strategy here is to abide by the cultural norm in Japanese – the bigger the favor you received, the greater the likelihood that you would be expected to mention it and to thank the other person for it again the next time you see/talk to him/her.  Otherwise, the person you are talking to may wonder if your gratitude was sincere. 

For example, in the case of a nice gift or a fancy meal, unless you thank the person again the next time you see him/her, the person may start to doubt that you really enjoyed the present/meal!
