In this episode of HeyTim Podcast, I look back on my first year of learning Japanese. I share what motivated me to start, what surprised me the most, and the challenges I've faced along the way. We discuss the Japanese writing systems, particles and sentence structure. I also rate Japanese in several categories and finish by speaking a little Japanese myself. A great episode for intermediate English listening practice and anyone interested in language learning and Japanese culture.

In this episode of HeyTim Podcast, we explore some of the most popular Gen Z and Gen Alpha slang words and expressions that are shaping the way young people communicate online today. What do words like “rizz,” “delulu,” and “mid” actually mean, and how many words that are completely normal today originally started as slang.

Only time will show whether today’s internet expressions could become part of everyday language in the future.

A great episode for intermediate English listening practice and anyone interested in language, internet culture, and modern communication.
