Great podcast

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

Such a good podcast

I went to the first 2 episodes and only had to listen to them once and I have them memorized already. I love that they are not to long. GREAT podcast!

Spelling

Fantastic podcast. I wish you’d add the spelling (hiragana/katakana/kanji) of the new words learned in each episode along with the pronunciation you already have. Thanks much!

Really Good, but Please Use Dictionary Forms Too

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！

Amazing Podcast

I’m currently doing lessons with an online tutor and it seems that Masa Sensei uses the Minna no Nihongo book which I think is great. She goes straight to the point and each lesson functions as a great way to review.

This is the one

After suffering through “NHK Easy Japanese”, I really appreciate the very clear and to the point style of this podcast. Looking forward to listening to all the episodes.

Masa sensei helped me a lot!

I’ve been struggling to learn Japanese but I can confidently say this podcast has seen me grow! I can finally make full sentences after listening to Masa sensei on a daily basis. She speaks clear and repeats herself. She gives very straightforward lessons with the vocabulary in the lesson notes. ARIGATO GOZAIMASU!
