903. Reading from my Japanese hospital diaries 📘 (Sept 2002)
By popular demand I have chosen to publish this episode! In 2002 I ended up stuck in a Japanese hospital feeling very ill and confused. I ended up staying there for about two weeks.

898. How to Learn Vocabulary 📚 (and not just stare at word lists)
In April I did a Zoom workshop about how to learn vocabulary. This is the audio version of the workshop, which I recorded more recently.
