Podcast 53: Natural disasters in Japan
In today’s episode, we’re diving into a crucial topic that anyone living in or visiting Japan should know at least a little about, and that is to stay safe during a natural disaster. Japan is located in the Pacific Ring of Fire, and is prone to various natural disasters such as earthquakes, typhoons, heavy rain, and tsunami.
And as language learners, it’s good to not only master everyday conversational Japanese but also understand the language used in various emergency situations.
So, today we’ll look at some basic vocabulary related to natural disasters and phrases related to disaster preparedness. -

Podcast 51: Ōsōji – Year end cleaning
In Japan, the tradition of “大掃除” (Ōsōji), meaning “big cleaning,” takes place at the end of the year. This cultural practice involves a thorough cleaning of homes, workplaces, and public spaces to bid farewell to the old year and welcome the new one with a fresh start. Families engage in deep cleaning, decluttering, and organizing to symbolize leaving behind the past and preparing for a clean slate in the coming year. It is a shared activity that fosters a sense of renewal and harmony within the family, work colleagues and community.

Amazing podcast!
Hello from Sweden! Thank you for a great podcast! I’ve really found it helpful for learning casual everyday Japanese :)
Best
This is by far the best ”learn Japanese” podcast I’ve listened to. They are the only ones who make it entertaining and it’s not feeling like a boring grammar class. Wish they would do more episodes though.
Informative & Friendly!
This is so much better then most podcasts who just throw japanese out there with a monotone voice and leaves it at that. i love the friendliness of this whole pod, and it makes me feel like i'm in the room! In my class I took, the teacher was wonderful but we learnt from such a strict book I forgot the words instantly the day after.. Alao the extra file with every episode is brilliant.
