In this episode we will talk about guilty pleasures! What they are, how they come to be, and some examples. A guilty pleasure is defied as 'an activity or piece of media that someone enjoys but would be embarrassed by if other people found out about it'. I hope you enjoy the episode :)

Talking about Guilty Pleasures!

Mel talks about Halloween. Let's find out what she's talking about. This is a special episode.
She's using grammar points from Genki 1,2. Simple and Easy, but some of the sentences would be a little challenging because she combines different grammar points in a sentence,  which Japanese people do all the time.
You get to hear natural Japanese with Tokyo pitch accept
