Language Learning · Shunsuke Otani
by Shunsuke Otani
This is a Japanese podcast for the beginner-intermediate Japanese learners. I will mainly use grammar from Genki 1-textbook and some from Genki 2. Therefore, this podcast is perfect for those who have started learning Japanese maybe just a couple of months or years ago. By listening to native Japanese, you can enhance your listening and speaking level rapidly. 🎙TRANSCRIPT🎙 https://www.patreon.com/Japanesewithshun?fan_landing=true ⭐️Private Japanese Class with Shun⭐️ https://calendly.com/japanesewithshun 📹YouTube📹 https://www.youtube.com/@JapanesewithShun

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.
Shun does a great job of keeping the monologues interesting, concise and easy to follow. The quality of enunciation and good use of repetition and patterns helps cement information quickly. Even if you understand everything perfectly, the podcasts are enjoyable to listen to. Find it super helpful to listen, hear the vocabulary and re listen to make sure I understand the conversations. Resources in patreon are also helpful to get better.
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!
