Konnichiwa from Learn Japanese Pod! 🇯🇵
Welcome to our very first Substack post — exciting for us, and (hopefully) useful and even a little fun for you!
So… what is this?
Learn Japanese Pod is a podcast and website dedicated to helping you speak natural, fluent Japanese — the kind real people actually use in the wild, not just what's in dusty old textbooks.
Here on Substack, we’ll be posting:
Fresh podcast updates
Japanese learning games and cheat sheets
Articles on science-backed language learning strategies specific to Japanese
Behind-the-scenes peeks into how we create our content
Basically, if it helps you get better at Japanese, you’ll probably find it here.
Why are we doing this?
We wanted a simple, no-fuss place where you can keep up with everything Learn Japanese Pod. Podcasts, downloads, extra learning tools, recommended resources — all in one tidy inbox-friendly space. You’ve got enough tabs open already.
Who’s behind all this?
I’m Alex, your friendly neighborhood Japanese learner turned podcast host. And of course, there’s Ami-sensei — the real MVP. She’s a native speaker with a gift for teaching you how to sound smooth, natural, and just the right amount of Osakan spicy.
When does it all begin?
Right now! 🎉
This is just the beginning — we’ve got lots more content coming soon. So hit that subscribe button, stick around, and keep practicing your Japanese. (We see you procrastinating with your flashcards, by the way…)
