Podcast
I released a weekly Japanese podcast for JLPT N5–level learners from March 2023 to October 2025, focusing on beginner-friendly listening materials with accurate pitch accent and practical, everyday topics. To support structured self-study, I also created supplementary learning materials, including scripts with furigana, vocabulary lists with English translation, and listening comprehension exercises.
As of November 2025, new episodes are no longer being released. All 29 past episodes and accompanying materials are now available as on-demand digital access through Patreon while your subscription is active.
Full Access: All Episodes & Study Materials on Patreon
