Kuli English Podcast

In this episode, we'll be talking about three main topics: my story about falling down a mountain in college, a reminder that a lot of things we see today on SNS are fake, and also, my current favorite game, Farmer Was Replaced. As always, all of these stories will be told by me at a "Kuli English Level", which is meant for intermediate English learners!

In this episode, I'll be taking a step back and making an introduction episode again. I'll be talking about Quantity vs. Quality, and also about how listening to a podcast can help your English! As always, I'll be mixing in personal stories from my life, and everything will be at a "Kuli English Level" which means an intermediate level.

In the previous episodes, we talked a lot about immigration visas, so this time I want to talk about a different kind of visa: the credit card type! So in this episode, we'll be talking about what a credit card is, some common credit card scams, as well as a few personal stories about encountering scams.

In this episode, I'll be talking about multiple (not just one!) failures that I encountered at the Tokyo Immigration Bureau (I made up the nickname "The Terrible Place" to make it easier to understand). As always, Kuli English Podcast is meant for you to listen to on the side while you do chores or other things, and hopefully it's a fun way to get English practice!

In this episode, we'll be talking about "Exploration vs. Exploitation", which is a general idea of "trying new things" vs. "repeating things that are familiar." Both are important, and I would recommend that you keep this in mind as you continue your English studies!

In this episode, I will be talking about the typical process of making a podcast episode from beginning to end! I'm sorry it's a little bit short, but hopefully by next week we'll be back to the usual length episodes! For those that are interested, my mic is a Deity vo-7u mic! Please feel free to ask me if you have any questions about the podcast recording setup.
