    【JLPT N4-N3】Speak Like a Native! さすがに働けない！ #69 | Japanese Listening

    【JLPT N4-N3 / Bridge to Intermediate Japanese】 Hi everyone, it's Kiki! 🌸 Are you stuck between "Not a beginner anymore, but not yet intermediate"? You can understand Japanese, but you can’t speak it. The words just don't come out. If you want to break out of that cycle, you are in the right place! In this episode, I share some funny, real-life stories like being totally shocked by a gourmet shaved ice (Kakigori) that cost a whopping 3,000 yen, and catching a cold right after having way too much fun at a summer festival! 🍧🤒 Discover the real ways Japanese people use "Sazuga ni" (さすがに) in daily conversations to express when something is just too much, over the top, or has reached its absolute limit—far beyond what textbooks teach you! ✨ Enjoy this natural, slow, and comfortable 15-minute conversation!
