Beer and Sushi!

This show is a cross between a Fun Friday and a regular lesson. Waka sensei, a secret guest and myself got together for a delicious sushi party with some beer the forgotten condiment. In this video Waka sensei teaches us the names of various kinds of Japanese food. DELICIOUS!

#72 Give me a break

In today's lesson, Waka sensei teaches us a very useful phrase "Kamben shite". This is used for excusing yourself from things you don't want to do, something you might find yourself doing a lot in Japan. We recorded today's podcast outside in the park so apologies for the noise in the background.
