Japanese with Shun

Shun talks about a variety of topics — with a marked and preference for nature, travel and outdoor sports which I personally appreciate — using simple language, talking slowly and clearly to make himself understood for beginners. What I love most is that even on topics as mundane as “childhood”, Shun manages to say unexpected and interesting things! I would love to hear longer episodes from this podcast.

I have tired many Japanese apps, podcasts and learning tools. Genki books have really been a great style for me but I needed more listening practice to refine and hammer in my grammar and vocab. This podcast is perfect for that! He speaks clearly and at a slow enough pace for me (a beginner) to hear clearly. A lot of other similar podcasts speak English as well which is fine but I want Japanese only. Highly recommend!!

I’m somewhere in the comfortable beginner phase of Japanese and this is perfect for me! I’m able to understand 90% of it, and when I don’t I can use that to learn and grow. Shun speaks clearly and slowly enough for my brain to be able to follow along and truly comprehend. I’ll be recommending this to everyone I know who is learning!

Excellent Japanese learning podcast that seems at a perfect level for those who have worked their way through the Genki textbooks (or are currently working their way through them). Makes for excellent listening practice. Probably most suitable for those who have at least finished Genki I or equivalent.
