Great podcast

I have visited Japan twice on business, and have been a student of Japanese art, history and language since the late 1960's. I am planning a vacation to Japan in 2018, and have been learning a bit of Kanji and language skills, and have been very pleased with this short "bite size" podcast. The lessons have been practical, and while he speaks a bit too fast at times for newbies, I manage to catch the essence of it. Things I miss I check out in dictionaries, etc. For example, while I knew how to count to ten, I didn't have the correct pronunciation. This podcast is a good adjunct to watching Japanese films, and NHK videos. Nice job!
