Japanese Listening Practice : What Running a Shop in Japan is Like
I went to Yokosuka to see a friend who opened a flower shop. We talked about how she left the apparel world to work with flowers, and the people helping bring this small street back to life. On the same street, there's a shop run by two brothers who make clothes and leather goods, so we stopped in there too.00:00 Intro00:08 Arriving in Yokosuka00:31 Cacti and easy plants00:49 Why she started with flowers02:08 Leaving the apparel world02:55 Driftwood and a radio feature03:48 The shop next door04:27 Bringing the street to life05:47 What she wants to do next07:03 Why florists need patience09:13 Meeting the two brothers09:59 Self-taught sewing10:51 One jacket a day12:10 A tiny one-seater carShop IG: https://www.instagram.com/maree_chanter/👇Learn N5 Immersion Programhttps://japanesewithshun.thinkific.com/products/courses/master-n5-japanese-immersion-program?ref=bdf5c7👉Get the transcripts with furigana on Okkei Japanese websitehttps://www.okkeijapanese.com/🔘Hi.
