    Show Notes:

    Finding a smoke free cafe can be quite a challenge in a country where 47% of the population smokes. Anthony talks to Brad Stephenson who runs a website dedicated to finding smoke free cafes in Tokyo. Brad shares with us his favourite smoke free eateries around town and about his upcoming book.

    In our continuing Japanese Language Series we look into the controversy over learning Japanese by watching anime. Anthony Joh talks to Ken Cannon who not only claims that it is possible to learn Japanese from anime but he also teaches a course on how to do it.

      I’m very surprised that you were unaware that a great deal of anime is not aimed at children. There are animated dramas that portray all sorts of work and social environments with all levels of language formality. The same goes for manga. Just FYI.

        I’ve never watched anime or read manga so my experience with them are limited. Good to know that there are also forms aimed at adults.
