I've been doing so much, but something has been feeling off lately...
Japan has a unique comedy culture deeply rooted in its history. In this episode, Mayu Sensei, one of SAYAS’s popular teachers, introduces the basics of Japanese comedy, including different types of comedy and the roles comedians play in Japanese entertainment.
Enty Sensei, one of SAYAS’s popular teachers, shares her vulnerable story of growing up in the Japanese countryside, being called “weird” by other kids, and losing the confidence to be herself. Later, she found people and environments where she could finally embrace who she is.
Not everyone has the opportunity to live or study in Japan, and without that immersive environment, it can be hard to stay motivated, consistent, and feel real progress.In this episode, I talked with SAYAS’ popular teacher, Shio-sensei, about her own experience learning English entirely from Japan—and the study techniques that helped her become a confident speaker.
I left Japan four years ago and have been living in Spain ever since. In this episode, I revisit the reasons why I left Japan and compare how I felt back then with how I feel now. Are those reasons still keeping me from going back? Have I changed my mind? Has Japan changed?
