In early 2025, I had a conversation with Anthony Voykin who is an instructor at Saskatchewan Polytechnic in Saskatoon, Canada. He visited Japan for two weeks in February, 2025.

EASY ENGLISH GRAMMAR POINT for EPISODE #15

For today’s episode, please use the interview as a review of the grammar points covered in all the episodes so far.

EASY ENGLISH USAGE POINT for EPISODE #15

For the English usage point, I would like to point out a phrase that Anthony uses. He uses the phrase, “get a kick out of” This phrase is used by English speakers when they want to describe something that they think will be enjoyable for themselves or for another person. Listen near the end of today’s podcast for when Anthony says that he thinks that his kids would “really get a kick out of a visit to Japan”.

For example:

“My kids would really get a kick out of visiting Japan.”
