When and how to listen?

The best time to listen to podcasts is in the morning, while making breakfast, or on your way to school.

Don’t worry if you don’t understand everything the first time. These podcasts are carefully selected to help you get used to the sound of real Japanese.

Try this:

• Listen to the same episode several times over a few days.

• Let the phrases “stick” in your head naturally.

• Use them when speaking with your teacher or Japanese friends!

Wishing everyone good luck and happy listening! 頑張ってね！🌟
