GOOD FOR JAPANESE BEGINNERS

Useful for bridging that awkward gap between beginning Japanese study and actually speaking Japanese with people!! My Japanese listening comprehension and speaking skills improved noticeably in 6 months with Learn Japanese Pod.
Alex (UK) and Asuka (native Japanese/bilingual American English) speak a short dialogue in Japanese, and then break down all of the Vocabulary, adding in grammar and alternative phrasing and vocabulary. Notes are provided for study, with alternative dialogues for partner practice.
You can speak live with other students, natives (and sometimes Alex) on the Learn Japanese Pod discord channel! In 2021, your questions and suggestions may be incorporated into the next podcast (shout-out).

Love the interaction

I love the way Alex and Asta work well together. I’m just starting Japanese and sometimes just listen to one episode all week to nail it. I love how they sound out the words and do it slow to hear all the syllables
