005 How to learn Japanese (Orientation presentation: The extended version)

This is the presentation I made at the Kochi Orientation + lots more depth and a bit more information. Total running length is 68:55 and you can check it out at http://www.archive.org/details/005KochiPerspective or directly download the ogg file.  And with no further ado, here are the show notes I mentioned.

004 Learn Japanese

Took about a week for it to process... sorry about the wait.  This is episode 4 broadcast from Motoyama with guest co-host Ben Barrett.  We spent the time talking about coming to JET with different levels of Japanese experience and we both think JETs should strive to learn more Japanese or at least stay engaged with it even for very advanced speakers.  Ben had to run at the end because he had Yosakoi dance practice, a dance festival coming up next week in Kochi city that will attract thousands of visitors and tourists to the prefecture.
