In episode 13 of my new podcast for beginner/intermediate students of Japanese I decided to take a break from grammar and talk about the advantages and disadvantages of studying Japanese as a foreign language, something I’ve seen much discussion about online. While I want to get back to grammar in the next episode, please let me know if you want more episodes like this talking about non-grammar topics.

At the end I also talk about a few ways to ask someone to wait for you.

You can also hear this episode on Spotify here (along with the previous episodes). 

I’m always open to feedback and requests for things to cover. You can email me at “selftaughtjapanese [at] gmail.com”.
