Today, I stayed at home because of the typhoon. I have a terrible migraine, so I feel really sick today. I wanted to rest all day, but I have to go to my part-time job later. Even though I don’t feel well, I will do my best and work hard. I hope I can finish my shift without any problems and get some good rest afterward.

Day 5 Korea gave me so many unforgettable memories. I hope I can experience all of this again. ✨

I was supposed to go to Disney with my friends from university today. However, we postponed our trip because a typhoon was coming and the weather forecast said it would rain. We also canceled our plans to hang out. So, I decided to go shopping for clothes in Tokyo by myself. I wanted to leave in the morning, but I took my time getting ready, so I left in the afternoon. I wanted to visit many stores, but I don’t think I have enough time. First, I’ll go to the store I wanted to visit the most. If I still have time, I’ll go to some other stores too. I hope I can find some cute clothes. I’m really excited!

Yesterday, there was a big earthquake for the first time in a while. Today, a typhoon came, too. It made me feel a little scared because both happened so close together. Our outdoor class was canceled because of the typhoon. I hope the weather gets better soon and everyone stays safe.

Today, I have my part-time job. Yesterday, there were three earthquakes, and I was really scared. I was glad that many people were around me. Because everyone was there, I felt a little calmer. Tomorrow, my friend is coming from Ehime to visit me. I am very excited to see my friend, and I hope we will have a great time together.

Hello everyone! 👋 Episode 3 of Season 2 of T.E.A. Time is here: "Hit the Road, but I'm Not Jack." This episode picks up right where the road trip left off, ten hours in the car with a ten-month-old, and an expression that's perfect for talking about leaving somewhere. Listen in to hear how it's used and where it comes from. Every episode comes with a full transcript, so you can read along while you listen. I'd love to know: what's the longest road trip you've ever taken? Drop a comment below! Until next time, Tayvin

Hello everyone! 👋 Episode 2 of Season 2 of T.E.A. Time is here: "Think, Not Thing. Think Again." In this one, I share an expression that almost everyone says slightly differently than how it was originally said, and what that little difference actually changes about its meaning. I also tell the story of a phone call with my mom that didn't go at all the way I expected it to. Every episode comes with a full transcript, so you can read along while you listen. I'd love to know: has a conversation ever gone in a completely different direction than you expected? What happened? Drop a comment below, I read every one! Until next time, Tayvin
