Last week, on 16th February, we held the Learn Japanese Pod Get Together at the Kimono Wine Bar and Grill in Nogizaka in Tokyo. It's an event for listeners of Learn Japanese Pod to hang out, practice Japanese, eat some delicious food and generally have a fun time here in Tokyo. In this Get Together, we recorded a podcast which you can stream or download above, and we practiced doing self-introductions in Japanese. You can download the show notes above or check out the transcript below. So a massive thank you to Lauren of the Kimono Wine Bar and Grill who looked after us so well and provided an impressive spread of fantastic food. And another thank you to everyone who turned up, participated, practiced Japanese and made the event a massive success. I'm looking forward to the next one.
