I have now lived in the Japanese countryside for over a year!

I have experienced many interesting situations. I have discovered new interests and hobbies. I have faced significant challenges. And I have learned a lot about myself!

In order to talk about my past year in Japan, and similar topics about events in the past which influence the present, we need to understand and know how to use the present perfect grammar.

Let’s practise the present perfect grammar and learn about my past year in Japan at the same time!

Nihon Hidankyo, an organisation formed by survivors of the atomic bombs dropped on Japan in 1945, have been awarded the 2024 Nobel Peace Prize for their efforts to raise awareness and create the nuclear taboo.

Today, I want to talk about the nuclear taboo and other theories that try to explain why nuclear weapons have not been used since 1945!

Let’s learn about international relations and learn some vocabulary at the same time.
