In the previous podcast, I mentioned that investing in yourself is a must when you want to glow or level up. It is a must to have  a personal development budget that will not break the bank.
I will share some of my best practices in this podcast on how I budget, what I spend on depending on my goals.

Christmas Phrasal Verbs Part 2

Hajimemashite! Welcome to the first episode of "Midori no Heya". In this episode, I share how I came to learn Japanese for the first time. I will never forget my first Indonesian Japanese-teacher, Retno-sensei. When I returned from Japan, I looked for her, but I couldn't find her. The Japanese Language Course where I met her couldn't (or didn't want to?) give her contact.

How could a teacher, teaching at simply an evening course, turn the student's next course of life? She was paid just to teach a language. But the impact she made was beyond.

Midori no Heya

Hajimemashite! It's about the first time.

'Ta-dak-ta-dak' is the sound of light raindrops hitting a surface or a small crackling fire. Imagine the sound of raindrops hitting the wooden window frame of an old cafe on a rainy day. What warm tea do you want to drink while listening to this sound?
