#13 Setting Goals For a New Year

 In the first episode of the ETJ English podcast, I dive into the transition from my previous podcast, "Journeys With Elliott," and introduce the fresh direction of this new series. Join me for a laid-back chat about language learning, where I share the tools and methods I use to improve my Japanese. It's a cozy catch-up session that sets the stage for the exciting episodes. Whether you're into language learning or just looking for some relaxed listening, this episode is the perfect place to start.

In this episode of Journeys with Elliott, we talk about my recent trip to Greece, the sights, sounds smells, and everything in between.  I also discuss some ''pet peeves'' - random things that I find annoying when I'm travelling. Finally, I will read another section from my travel journal - my first day on the motorbike tour I did in Vietnam with some local tour guides, who I now consider as family.
