Re:Conversational Japanese
Hi, Katie!
We speak in non-formal to only friends, family including
uncle, aunt, grand parents and cousin and people who are same age.

We speak in formal to people who are the first meeting,
older than your age (exept friends and family), and
business situation.

Think easy! I think it's same as English, isn't it?
