 JLPT BC 167 | Learning to take Breaks | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 17:25

This last month has been pretty rough on me to be honest. There was a lot of last minute planning for my vacation. And of course, right when you want to go on vacation, everything seems to need extra attention. More work to do at work. More fires to put out. I haven’t had as […]

 JLPT BC 166 | What a Rat Experiment might Tell us about Japan’s Population Problem | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 31:44

When I first moved to Japan loved the city. It was nice and compact and everything is in one place. As long as you are a decent walk away from a train station you can get anywhere pretty easily without the use of a car. If you needed to buy anything that can’t be found […]

 JLPT BC 165 | Speaking Practice with FluentU | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 19:37

I’ve always found summer to be a more active time. Despite the oppressive heat and humidity we have here in Japan, I still think the increased sunlight and ability to walk around the house in a lot less clothes just makes me do something more than keeping my nose in a book. People always ask […]

 JLPT BC 164 | You’ll always be an Outsider in Japan | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 20:59

I grew up in white bread America where the corn grows high and hills don’t. I spent most of my time in a city of a mere 10,000 where everybody knew each other (and who was doing what to who). It was not uncommon to go downtown to run some errands and run into a […]

It’s a story you’ve heard several times – we don’t talk to each other like we used to. Because ya know, back in the good ole days we used to chat it up with our neighbors and everybody knew everybody right? It was always better back then. But these days, we tend to ignore each […]

 JLPT BC 161 | Doing it the Hard Way | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 17:06

In school, I always had a hard time paying attention in class.  The teacher would lecture away and we were suppose to be taking notes, but to be honest I could never proper filter out what was important and what wasn’t.  Half the time I left the class knowing that I had listened to something […]
