1. What do you expect to learn from the podcast project?
While making our podcast, I think we'll collect a lot of detailed information on the difference between Japanese and American culture generally and Japanese and American food specifically. We will also hopefully learn more about how to convey more complex ideas in Japanese succinctly and correctly.
2. What does "communication" mean to you?
Communication encompasses many different things but I think the podcasts will emphasize the ability to impart information in a meaningful way. Information is increasingly conveyed not through print or writing but through other means; the podcasts will be a novel way to communicate information and improve our Japanese ability at the same time.
