In this episode of ConverSapiens, Duncan McCrary joins the show all the way from Chiba Prefecture in Japan, where he teaches English as a foreign language. In our conversation, he discusses aspects of Japanese culture, including the famous Japanese efficiency, their cultural dedication to detail, the duality of honne and tatemae, and much more. We also discuss the unfortunate worldwide fascination with grammar in Foreign Language Education and we talk a little bit about the Bujinkan budo taijutsu, the martial art Duncan studies in Japan.
