Customer Reviews
This is EXACTLY what I’ve been searching for..
I’m from the UK and this year I’ve decided to give up learning Japanese for the first time.
I don’t really know why but I just felt the need to learn a new language so after reading a lot online about how to start or what to do to help, I discovered a way to help by listening a lot, even though I don’t understand much I’m beginning to hear some words now and again. I’m also using Pimsleur audiobook, watching Japanese TV on Netflix, Memrise and a Hiragana app to learn.
I started at the beginning on January 2019 and because I’m doing this at my own pace I kinda find it enjoyable and sometimes really fun when a puzzle piece comes together like reading out Hiragana to myself and getting it right.
Anyway again, I’m happy someone out there like this podcast exists and really appreciate it.
Thank you.
