  • Ep 13 Elitist Reading
    Sep 1 2023
    Welcome back to Honto Eigo! After a week-long break for a summer vacation trip to Canada (more on that in future episodes), we're back to follow up on last week's topic of "Why do we read?" This episode I talk about 'elitism' in reading, that is, people who think they are better than others because they read certain things and not others. Remember that reading can be a relaxing hobby, a passionate love affair, a tool for knowledge and understanding, and many more!

  • Ep 11 Mount Fuji
    Aug 11 2023
    YAHO~~~~! If you have visited Japan, you've probably seen Mount Fuji in the distance. It *is* 3776m tall after all. But have you ever climbed it? This week on Honto Eigo, I talk about my 2 separate experiences of climbing Fuji. Should you climb at night to see the sunset? Should you stay in a cabin overnight? What should you bring with you? What's the weather like up there? All of these questions and more will be answered for you. August is the peak mountain climbing season here in Japan, so let's embark! Follow us on Instagram (to see pictures of Mount Fuji and more content!) @hontoeigopodPost comments and questions on Instagram, Youtube, or email them to hontoeigopod@gmail.com
