  • LANGUAGE LEARNING

Learn Japanese through everyday stories. When you hear a friend’s story, it sticks. That’s because it’s full of context, emotions, and real-life moments. I believe that’s how language learning should feel. I share stories about daily life, language, and culture in Japan to help you absorb authentic Japanese naturally and at your own pace. Full transcripts with furigana are available on my website https://www.okkeijapanese.com/ to support your learning. 自然な日本語を毎日のストーリーで学びましょう。 友達の話って、なんだか記憶に残りますよね？ その感覚を大切にした日本語ポッドキャストです。 日常の出来事や日本での暮らし、言葉について話しながら、楽しく自然に日本語を身につけていきましょう。 スクリプト（ふりがな付き）はWebsite https://www.okkeijapanese.com/ で公開中です。楽しみながら学びましょう。 🌳N5 Immersion Program with Shun https://japanesewithshun.thinkific.com/products/courses/master-n5-japanese-immersion-program?ref=bdf5c7 Hosted on Acast.

    Walking in a Town Japanese Couldn't Enter 50年前まで日本人が入れなかった街 | Yokohama

    Today, I’m taking a walk through Honmoku in Yokohama. Until about 50 years ago, there were parts of this town that Japanese people actually couldn't enter. While walking, I talk a bit about how this former US military housing area introduced jazz and R&B to Yokohama, and how the town slowly returned to what it is today. I just stroll through Honmoku Sancho Park, look at the seasonal Koinobori (carp streamers), and pass by an old American diner. I hope you enjoy the scenery and the history, and that it helps with your daily Japanese listening. 0:00 - A bit of Yokohama's history 0:53 - Walking through Honmoku Park 1:14 - The US military era 2:04 - Jazz and R&B in Yokohama 3:25 - Returning the town to Japan 3:53 - Exploring the hills and stairs 5:28 - Walking up American Hill 6:24 - Koinobori (carp streamers) 6:46 - Stopping for a coffee break 7:11 - Streets without power lines 👇Learn N5 Immersion Program https://japanesewithshun.thinkific.com/products/courses/master-n5-japanese-immersion-program?ref=bdf5c7 👉Get the transcripts with furigana on Okkei Japanese website https://www.okkeijapanese.com/ 🔘Hi.

    母が車を売った話 My Mother Sold Her Car | Japanese Listening #100 Podcast

    Today I am driving in Shizuoka, Numazu. My mother is in her 70s, so she recently sold her car and returned her driver's license. Thinking about her car brought back many warm, everyday family memories from when I was a kid. I also talk about a bitter memory. When I was a university student, I tried to be very quiet on a Japanese train. My girlfriend got really mad at me all day. By the way, this is actually the 100th episode of this podcast!
