Taking 3 years of Japanese in Highschool gave me a good foundation, but I really want to speak not just know characters. I tried other stuff, but I don’t want to pay. Until found this podcast which not only teaches you casual speaking, but has a dialogue for you to look at which is in Japanese character, romanji, and in English for you to understand and read for yourself. They also answer questions at the end of podcast that is emailed and give you additional information on the topic. They make it easy to learn!

This app is amazing, I’ve been learning Japanese for almost a year, and many fluent speakers says that apps like Duolingo and other similar apps don’t speak ‘actually Japanese’, and anime speak really formally, so having a podcast that I can hear casual speaking is very important for learning to speak. This app is #1 and I would say pimslur is second, great work guys!!!

Works great--interface feels smooth and is easy to interact with (not to mention the awesome podcasts themselves). The only issue I tend to come across is that the buttons for skipping forward/backwards by 30 seconds only skip several seconds. I would also appreciate having timestamps/time remaining on the audio ui.

Excellent content, engaging dialogue and always something to learn in more depth whatever level I’m at. You guys are fun, the vibe is chill and always a great way to start my week. Gets me motivated and keeps me studying! Thank you Alex & Ami sensei!
