Learn Japanese with our free Japanese lessons in podcast format. We use examples from anime and everyday conversation to teach you Japanese that is useful for everyday life. Hitomi-sensei is from Tokyo and will teach you to speak with the most common Japanese accent. If you are watching an anime now and want to know more about a word or phrase you have heard, post a comment or send us an email.
For the next few lessons we’re going to focus on vocabulary words that you’ll need to pass JLPT Level 4.
If you’ve never taken the JLPT, you’ll be surprised at how many of these words you might already know. Hopefully it’ll give you the confidence to apply for the test.
Because of my schedule, we haven’t been able to record full episodes for quite a while. We’re working hard to at least start delivering “quick lessons” in the meantime.
We hope you enjoy them. Please continue to email your questions and comments.
In order to reward those of you who have set up subscription donations, we’ve decided to go back to splitting the lessons in half. There is still plenty of great free Japanese to be learned here, but to those of you who donate your hard-earned money to keep us podcasting, we thought it only fair to thank you by making 1/2 the lesson private.
In this lesson I talked about a great blog post on the site “The Life Nippon” which can be found HERE. You’ll also learn a valuable lesson about how to respond appropriately when someone says they aren’t feeling well. It’s a common mistake made by English speakers, so pay close attention!
