Slow Japanese
Language Learning Podcasts
Slow Japanese™ was launched in 2021 by Akari (Mochifika). It’s a podcast for beginner to intermediate Japanese learners (A1 - B1/B2). I’m Akari, a certified Japanese teacher. My motto is: “Even beginners can start speaking from Day 1.” I created this podcast after seeing many learners struggle with listening and speaking, to make these skills feel easier and more natural, even for beginners. 🎁 Free guide: How to Improve Your Japanese Listening & Speaking https://bit.ly/4qjAdlI ✅ Transcripts & Exclusive Lessons: https://www.patreon.com/mochifika/membership/ 🔗 Website: https://mochifika.com
