にほんごのたね Nihongo no Tane with Yumi

Nihongo no Tane 106 台風とハリケーン Typhoons and Hurricanes | Japanese Immersion podcast


Listen Later

Hurricanes and typhoons. Not much fun, but both Japan and where Yumi currently lives, Florida, experience them annually. Japan not only has typhoons but other natural disasters— particularly earthquakes. Therefore, Yumi reasons, Japanese people tend to have a higher sense of crisis and therefore make tons of preparations. Listen as she compares Japan and Florida’s preparations for bad weather.
