Where Learn Japanese with Masa sensei! ranks today in each Apple Podcasts chart (US, Sep 17, 2026).
A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.
Start from the first episode onwards, and it will simply enrich any type of Japanese studying that you may be going through. She has the perfect balance of going slow yet at a wonderful pace to learn and I’d add that her voice is very soothing and enjoyable to learn from.

Masa Sensei's podcasts are the best for learning and practicing Japanese grammar. I highly recommend her YouTube videos as well. The only drawback is that verbs are always introduced in formal -masu form rather than dictionary form, but even this can be useful for practicing conjugation.
DarkCartoon_music · Aug 2025
This is a key resource that I use regularly to learn Japanese. The bite size chunks in each episode and the notes make for easy learning. I would urge Masa sensei to have more romaji in the notes as in the older episodes. It helps a beginner like me who doesn’t know the script to quickly review the content after listening to the episode
Harry Victor · Dec 2024
Masa-sensei makes a great podcast. Super useful and informative and clear. But please, sensei, when doing conjugations or the like for verbs, also give us the dictionary form, not just the -masu form. It’s very hard to learn conjugation when we’re given only the -masu form; we need the dictionary form to properly learn all the rules. ありがとうございます！
