Why is it that when I get the opportunity to speak in Japanese, I feel anxious? How can I overcome that language speaking anxiety? Did I jump in feet first to a conversation and hope for the best? was it the help of a shopkeeper? or maybe a bit of both? Well all is answered in episode 4 of Bilingual Bento. I also chat about the summer of anime and my top picks for the season and why I STILL haven't finished Shōgun.

Summer has finally arrived in England, well for about 3 days and then it's going to cool down again, also there's some serious FOMO from me in this episode for meteorological reasons. We also have a chinwag about the book I am currently reading at the moment, starting a new anime series, how the grind is real in Final Fantasy XIV and of course, NEW Doctor Who!
