ETJ English
About this episode

 In the first episode of the ETJ English podcast, I dive into the transition from my previous podcast, "Journeys With Elliott," and introduce the fresh direction of this new series. Join me for a laid-back chat about language learning, where I share the tools and methods I use to improve my Japanese. It's a cozy catch-up session that sets the stage for the exciting episodes. Whether you're into language learning or just looking for some relaxed listening, this episode is the perfect place to start.
