In this Fun Friday edition of the podcast I interviewed my good friend and fellow student of Japanese Peter Manthei. We talked about various topics including the challenges of studying Japanese outside of Japan, Japanese versus American craft beer, useful methods to improve your Japanese as well as some great travel tips.

Peter runs a brewery in Michigan called Beards Brewery and you can find out more about him and his adventures on Instagram and Facebook.
