Japanese Podcast
Nihongo con Teppei
This is the best podcast for learn Japanese. Teppei sensei mix simple and advanced words, and explains those advanced words with easy vocabulary. I enjoy the show. This is the first podcast I was able to follow from the first episode through two hundred episodes. The pace is very well adjusted. I have learned lots of vocabulary. But also, the feeling of achievement makes it worthy of the time spent. Great podcast for beginners! Teppei Sensei’s speaking speed is just right – not too fast and not too slow. He also uses a good mix of simple and more complicated words. That’s why anyone can learn new words in each episode. This is a brilliant podcast for listening practice. I really recommend it.
The Miku Real Japanese Podcast
Miku sensei is a highly talented Japanese teacher and these podcasts are a fantastic resource for post-beginners & intermediate level learners. I really love this show, please keep going. I like to listen to this show when I walk to somewhere or when I clean my dishes. It’s really a nice and smooth way to learn Japanese in a day-to-day basis. Miku sensei really did a good job. It’s great to find a Japanese podcast where the host isn’t afraid of using difficult Japanese. This is excellent for people who already have a fairly good grasp of the language. I’ve been listening to this during housework and while working out and it’s perfect. Having it on iTunes is so convenient and the interviews so far have been really interesting. This makes for a striking contrast and crucially, a learning experience which is memorable. Thanks to Miku sensei I have greater confidence that I might actually be able to level up. Looking forward to the next podcast.
Nihongo Picnic
あこ is a great teacher! I found this podcast through her YouTube teaching series, which is also extremely helpful. Her Japanese is very clear and easy to understand, and the topics are interesting. My only problem is that the episodes are so short. I usually listen to podcasts when I’m cleaning or on a walk, so I think longer episodes are better. Regardless, I’ll keep listening. A great resource for intermediately Japanese learners! Ako strikes an extremely balanced level of Japanese. It is perfect for conversational learners, in otherworld’s practical, social Japanese. The ways he teaches the grammar is very good. It is a great learning tool. It’s a great podcast and need longer episodes please.
Learn Japanese with Noriko
Great for listening practice. I really appreciate the high quality of the audio and pronunciation. If I don’t understand something on this podcast, I know it’s because of my Japanese ability. I’m taking my Japanese to a new level by listening to this entertaining podcast. Noriko San speaks in a conversational tone that is excellent for learning everyday language. (I listen over and over and over until I master new phrases and vocabulary) highly recommended. She’s very likable, very fun to listen to. I really enjoy the content and the clarity of each episode. It’s perfect for me as an intermediate learner. There are tons of episodes, and they’re short; good for a quick listening session, or do a few if you want to study longer. And most importantly for me, SHE HAS TRANSCRIPTS! Transcripts are indispensable to me.
News in Slow Japanese
I love how they can be listened to a slow speed and native speaking speed. I greatly appreciate the show notes that break down all the translations and provide extra knowledge. It’s simple and yet so effective. This application is proving to be very effective in improving and rounding out Nihongo skills. The Shadowing tool forces one to truly digest and understand the words and text. Spelling out vocabulary and providing Kanji practice worksheets is very helpful. I highly recommend this app and look forward to regular production of new lessons and hopefully listening practice drills for exam prep at higher levels. This is a great podcast! I truly appreciate the slower speed, and how the transcripts can be found on the website. This is assisting my studies greatly.
Bilingual News
I have enjoyed listening to it for several years. I love your natural way of speaking. If improvements are made according to the critical comments, I feel that even the goodness of the two of you will be lost. I thought it would be better if those who thought it didn’t suit them didn’t dare to declare it and moved to someone else’s. Over the years, people will change their way of thinking, and I don’t think there is a human being without bias. I would like to listen with interest, including such fluctuations. I think it’s an interesting program, but I’ve become increasingly uncomfortable with Mami’s behavior. I feel frustrated, and the topic of feminism has a strong language, so it may be stressful to listen to it. I’ve only listened to rebuild and this show for podcasts, but I wonder if I’ll look for other shows.
