(This month’s and next month’s guest is Kailene Falls. Originally from the United States, Kailene graduated from the Japanese Language and Design Departments at the University of Minnesota and came to Japan in 2014 to work at a design company in Tokyo. She honed her skills while working on designs for major companies, and in 2018 went independent as a free dance illustrator. Currently, she draws delicious Japanese food while also working in a wide range of roles, including as a bilingual reporter and voice actress. Today, we’ll hear about her experience working for a Japanese company. Before we begin the interview, let’s review some key points to keep in mind when listening.)

OK. Let’s listen to today’s interview.
-Words and Phrases
send off -, ~を送る、~を送り出す
In this case to “send off or send something off” means to send it to the relevant people. To male or submit something. Send and send something off are very similar, but phrases like ‘send something off’ or ‘send in’ sound more specific and have the nuance of sounding like the task has been completed. For example. I sent my resume off to the company. Sounds more like the applicant has finished their part and is waiting for an answer. But I sent my resume to the company makes the listeners feel they may need more information.
