A few weeks ago, I had the utmost pleasure of going to Ehime prefecture. I only knew that mikan existed there, so luckily I had a tour guide to show me all the great places. This tour guide and I go way back, actually. Learn about them and the wonderful land of mikan in this episode!

Last week I went to the land of mikans (tangerines), also known as Ehime prefecture on Shikoku island. I had five days of adventures that I talk about in today's episode. If you're interested in visiting this beautiful prefecture, let this episode be your guide of what to do AND what not to do.

Currently packing for my trip to Ehime and everything was going well until I wanted to pack my favorite hankerchief. Why? Because I can't find it. Where could such an item be? I really have no idea.

Despite the sweat that's dripping down my face everyday because of the constant heat, there are good parts about summer. If you want to hear my thoughts about very hot season, make sure to listen to today's episode!

The last day of school (before summer break) was last Friday so that means it's SUMMER VACATION!!!!! .....Well, technically. I still have to go to work, but it's a bit more relaxed. In today's episode, I talk about that, what I did during the three-day vacation, and my plans for the summer!

If you want to learn Japanese, learning how to count is very important but it isn't as easy as you may think. There are many "counters" that exist in Japanese, so in this episode I go over the basic counters that you should know and share some stories about why learning counters are important.

After a week break filled with studying for the JLPT N1, I am back! The test has been written, which means I have finished the N1 (for a second time). Hear about my thoughts and other random tangents in today's episode.

Today I experienced my first flood in Japan (yay?). It was a bit monumental for me so I wanted to share it with you.

Last week I expressed my worries about the JLPT, but this week I feel a bit better about it. Find out why on today's episode!

As of the recording of this podcast, the JLPT is 27 days away. Am I ready? No. Absolutely not. Find out what I am doing and why I am worried about the JLPT on today's episode. Also, I go into a completely different topic at the end of the podcast so please enjoy that.
