#300 Life Experiences and Present Perfec...

Michael Lavers
About this episode

In Episode 300 of the podcast, Akari from the Nihongo For You podcast joins me today for a chat about teaching languages, moving abroad, and learning English.

In the second half of the episode, we talk about life experiences where I ask Akari questions using the present perfect tense about things she has done before. It's a great opportunity to practice the grammar and see it used in the context of a regular conversation.

Perhaps you could also answer along at home and practice for yourself?

If you're learning or thinking about learning Japanese, don't forget to check out Akari's website and podcast too.
