In this episode, Sadie and Akane discuss how the Japanese language has changed over the years. Modern Japanese has swapped out a lot of formerly Japanese words for loan words. We talk through the when and why, as well as give our overall feelings about this shift. 

We were inspired to discuss this topic thanks to this Instagram video Sadie saw a while back: https://www.instagram.com/reel/CkswqXLgE4r/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link
