母が車を売った話 My Mother Sold Her Car | Japanese Listening #100 Podcast

Okkei Japanese Podcast

Show Notes

Today I am driving in Shizuoka, Numazu.

My mother is in her 70s, so she recently sold her car and returned her driver's license. Thinking about her car brought back many warm, everyday family memories from when I was a kid.

I also talk about a bitter memory. When I was a university student, I tried to be very quiet on a Japanese train. My girlfriend got really mad at me all day.

By the way, this is actually the 100th episode of this podcast! Thank you so much for always watching & listening! 🎉 👇Learn N5 Immersion Program https://www.okkeijapanese.com/n5-program/
