You do not learn a language all at once. You learn it in islands. LANGUAGE ISLANDS is a Multilingual podcast built around the moments of an ordinary day: waking up, breakfast, the commute, arriving at work, small talk, meetings, lunch with colleagues. Each island is a four-part series of short episodes. Every phrase is something a real person would say out loud, given in English, then naturally in a new language. DISCLAIMER - Some English narration may be mispronounced, please refer to the show notes if you're confused. Available here: https://languageislandspod.com/japan.html
