About this episode

Fran from Step Up Japanese and I discuss a few different topics in today's episode, including:

  • The Shikoku 88 Pilgrimage (walking around the Japanese island of Shikoku)
  • The Tadoku reading method for languages
  • An embarrassing language mistake on TV
  • And more!


If you're a fan of hearing casual British English conversations, and also finding out something new about language learning, then this should be a good episode for you.
