• Kota & Clay #2: Firsts and Fresh Starts: 初詣, 初雪, and Our First Episode Postmortem
    Jan 16 2025

    🎉 Welcome to the second episode of the Kota & Clay Podcast! 🎙️

    In this bilingual adventure, we’re diving headfirst into improving our English and Japanese skills—by making as many mistakes as possible and learning from them.

    In this episode, we talk about:

    ✨ Discussion of the first episode

    ✨ Talk about some first things to do in Japan for the first of the year

    ✨ New Year's customs in Japan and, a little, in America

    ✨ What we actually did last year and this year

    We’re keeping it lighthearted, full of laughs, and, of course, mistake-filled. Because what better way to grow than to embrace the mess-ups along the way? Join us as we chat freely in both languages, correct each other’s mistakes, and look forward to seeing how much we improve by the end of the year! 🎯
