## Resource

Welcome to our latest episode! This is now the third in our series of Asian language introductions for Asian Drama fans. We are delighted to be joined by Shogo, an old University friend of Sarah's and tri-lingual Japanese, English and Mandarin Chinese speaker to the podcast - where he gives us an intro to Japanese and comparisons with Chinese and Korean. All three of us share cultural and linguistic experiences and we also get into some Japanese culture questions sent in by listeners.
