In this podcast, I speak about a variety of topics in Japanese. I speak Japanese slowly and as much as simply. Of course, sometimes I have to use difficult vocabulary so I have vocabulary lists for each episode. On the Patreon page, you can check my podcast episodes, scripts, bonus contents, and Japanese newsletters. Let's learn and use Japanese together!

4. Japanese with Kanako

Hello everyone! I've been teaching Japanese for 8 years. I have been studying English for a long time and I figured out that shadowing is the most effective way in terms of speaking like a native speaker. Listen to the podcast every day, do shadowing(imitate what I say), and elevate your Japanese speaking and listening skills! The key to success is repetition and being continuous!
