In this episode I talk about what I have been up to this last week, I include some idioms and phrasal verbs you might not be familiar with. I am always looking for italki learners to be guests on my podcast, so if you are interested, feel free to contact me anytime.

KEP Episode 28: My Week!

In this episode, I reflect on the deeper meaning behind learning a language — not as a method, but as a human experience. Drawing from my personal journey with English and Japanese, I explore how immersion, necessity, and emotional connection are more powerful than textbooks. Language is not just communication — it’s identity, context, and the silent culture between words.

translation:
Over 20 years ago, I was still a teenager. I turned on the color TV my family bought and noticed the 555 Hong Kong-Beijing Rally. I was shocked to find out that you can drive a car like that. So I made up my mind to become a rally driver as well when I grow up. In 1999, The World Rally Championship was held in China. I took the train to Beijing to watch the championship without telling my family. When the rally cars whizzed past me, it became certain that this would be my passion, and I’d keep striving for it. Eventually, I did become a rally driver. I put on the helmet and fasten the seatbelt. Listening to the co-driver’s pace notes, I am like a newborn. Now I could finally compete with the best Chinese drivers that I have only seen on TV before. My co-driver and I were getting better and stronger as well.
Bayanbulak is 4,000 km above sea level and encompasses dangerous cliffs, forests, and snowy mountains. The highest honor of Chinese racing is to win the Bayanbulak championship. I won five times in a row. That year I was 32.
