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
Thank you so much for your support!
