In Japan, finding a job is very important, and everyone thinks that they need to have a "stable job". As a result, there are very few people who study abroad, start their own businesses, or take on the challenges of start-ups, which are popular in the US and Europe. ã»ãšãã©ã®äººã¯å€§äŒæ¥ã§åãããšãæ£ããäºãšèããŠããã坿¥ããçŠæ¢ãããŠããããšãå€ãã§ãã ãã®äŸã¯ãå³¶æ ¹ã®ãããªå°æ¹ã§ã¯ç¹ã«å€ããã»ãšãã©ã®åŠçããå ¬åå¡ãéè¡å¡ã«ãªããªããšãããªãããšèããŠããŸãã Most people think that working for a big company is the right thing to do, and often even a second job is forbidden.

So I felt that Japan is a country where it is really easy to take on challenges, but the problem is that there are not many people who think it is okay to take on challenges. Through this podcast and the activities of Nihongo Mura, I also thought about taking on more challenges.
