In today's episode you'll meet our special guest Yumiko who was a participant in the Power

Immersion Weekend in Tokyo last year.

Find out how the program helped her become more confident through intensive exercises with

native speakers. Listen in today. Whether it's an under the radar genre or a proper out-there podcast, sometimes it's better

when you get weird, especially when it comes to switching up your soft drink, introducing new Dr Pepper Zero.

With the same blend of 23 unique flavours, it tastes just as weird as regular Dr Pepper,

but with zero sugar and zero calories.

It's a taste you can't quite put your finger on.

Weird.

But in a surprisingly good way,

try more weird with Dr Pepper Zero.

Hello Yumiko and welcome to the show. How are you today?

Oh, hello, Lizzi, pretty good. How are you?

Hey, I'm feeling great. I love it when we get to have our students, our listeners here on the show.

Oh, thank you for giving me this great opportunity.
