Hello again and, as always, thanks as always for reading our blog.

Last time,

we introduced the word overrated. If you missed that click here to read it.

We use this to describe what other people might talk too highly of (良すぎに言う). 

Talk Highly Of

Parents always talk highly of their children.

I talk highly of the benefits of watching Netflix in English with English subtitles! It's a great study tool!

Our students talk highly of each other. 

This time,

things that are better than their impression (印象より良い) we say are underrated.

Maybe it is undiscovered (未発見) or overlooked (めこぼれ).

One Japanese food I think is underrated is oyako don! I love it!

Momento is an underrated movie from the 90's. You should check it out!

Taking a long bath is an underrated activity. It's so relaxing. 

Hidden Gems!

For a restaurant that is really good but maybe not popular, we say it's a hidden gem (隠れ宝石).

I found a hidden gem recently close to our school. It sold me a really good sandwich.

If you have any recommendations of hidden gems, please let us know on social media!

Tell us on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter.
