Q&A | Sounds Japanese People Make for Reactions: Haruno’s “We don’t say…” Series

In this episode, Lori and Mai talk about the sounds that Japanese people make to respond to certain situations. We were inspired by Nakagawa Haruno-san’s very interesting short videos on this topic and decided to record this episode.
