I love this podcast. They discuss a lot of the more mind-blowing quirks of language from a Japanese perspective. It has led to some truly mind-blowing moments for me, where I have understood English from a completely new perspective, and I really enjoy it.
The catch is that it gets pretty hard at times! But if you want to discuss it here, that could be pretty fun! This episode was particularly interesting.
For some additional context: they’re discussing how amazing “vocabulary” is, and they start the podcast joking around a bit before getting into the subject matter. Hope some of our most daring members give it a try!
I listen to them on Spotify while I’m at the gym quite often, or when I’m commuting on my bicycle as well.
It’s one of those cases where I don’t just listen to them because they’re in Japanese, but because they’re legitimately high-quality content.
If you like language studies and linguistics, you may also like ことラボ. He makes shorter and more digestible content, but I find it to be much more impactful a lot of the time.
