MEL
About this episode

Have you been practicing Japanese? You already know some grammar points for beginner level, but haven't found the right one for your listening practice?

You found the right podcast to practice Listening!! This is what you need the most.

Her voice is very clear, so it's not too hard to hear what she's saying, so you'd understand. She uses different grammar in a sentence which sounds very natural, but easy to understand. So this doesn't sound absolute beginner! You'll be surprised how much you can understand.

.

She's using grammar points from Genki 1,2 = JLPT N4/N5. Simple and Easy, but some of the sentences would be a little challenging because she combines different grammar points in a sentence,  which Japanese people do all the time.

You get to hear natural Japanese with Tokyo pitch accept
