Hello! My name is Taishi, and I'm an English teacher located in Tokyo, Japan.

I've been teaching English mainly to Japanese businesspeople, but I'd like to try the opposite on Podcast--teaching a bit about Japanese to people outside of Japan.

I'm going to talk about some hot news and cultural trends in Japan and introduce some related Japanese words or phrases that might be interesting for you, who are...

-Currently learning Japanese

-Interested in the Japanese language

-Interested in Japan in general

Today's topics

-News: Japan's Go To Travel campaign to exclude Tokyo. Is it necessary?

Why the decision?

Is the pandemic actually worsening in Japan?

-Japanese Words to Check Out

3密 (san-mitsu):

密閉 (mi-ppei) closely confined

密集 (mi-sshuu) closely concentrated

密接 (mi-ssetsu) close contact

秘密 (hi-mitsu) secret

密会 (mi-kkai) secret meeting

This is my first podcast and I know it's very awkward, but I'll try to keep improving as I go, so any feedback will be welcome!

Thank you so much for your support!
