About this episode

Immerse yourself in the intricate nuances of the word 'Goen', rarely seen in textbooks yet deeply valued in Japanese culture. It's a term difficult to translate, used in a variety of ways. Don't miss out on the chance to dive deeper into Japan's unique linguistic landscape!

Subscribers at the Silver Penguin level and above can enjoy access to both the transcript and the video podcast. I'm thrilled to announce that our video podcast is making a comeback from now on. Thank you all for your support!
