In this special interview episode, Michael sits down with Riccardo Barba, a 17 year-old student from Italy who is currently studying at Toho High School. In the interview, Michael and Riccardo talk about Riccardo's life in Italy, how he became interested in Japan, what his life is like here as an exchange student, his exceptional cooking skills, and how he has even written, recorded, and produced his own song! Finally, in this week's English Tips segment, Michael (the Fox) and Jordan (the Tanuki) talk about the difference between the adjectives "tall" and "high" and how to use them.
