About the show

Learn Japanese with this quick, daily podcast perfect for beginners or anyone wanting to refresh their Japanese. Each weekday our host Chris McDonough will introduce words used everyday, based on the weekly theme. You'll experience the most useful, foundational Japanese spoken by our native Japanese speakers, Saku and Natsuka, at both normal and slow speeds. We don't use AI in our production because we believe the tones and inflection of a natural voice is better. Friday's episodes will now be a recap of the weekly words, so you can learn Japanese and make sure it sticks long term.
