About the show

Learn Japanese through everyday stories. When you hear a friend’s story, it sticks. That’s because it’s full of context, emotions, and real-life moments. I believe that’s how language learning should feel. I share stories about daily life, language, and culture in Japan to help you absorb authentic Japanese naturally and at your own pace. Full transcripts with furigana PDF are available on my website https://www.okkeijapanese.com/ to support your learning. 自然な日本語を毎日のストーリーで学びましょう。友達の話って、なんだか記憶に残りますよね？その感覚を大切にした日本語ポッドキャストです。日常の出来事や日本での暮らし、言葉について話しながら、楽しく自然に日本語を身につけていきましょう。スクリプト（ふりがな付き）PDFダウンロードできます。 https://www.okkeijapanese.com/ 楽しみながら学びましょう。 If you want to master N5, 🌳Learn with N5 Immersion Program (made by Okkei x Shun) https://www.okkeijapanese.com/n5-program/ Hosted on Acast.
