For Japanese learners, I really recommend @nihongopicnic podcast by @akokitamura! Each episode is about 5 mins, and Ako先生 speaks slowly and clearly, using a good 🎤. Plus, she often talks about computer games! I struggle endlessly with listening, but really enjoy this podcast.

fourth @nihongopicnic japanese lesson summed up in one sentence: "what you said is perfectly fine, but its a bit more natural to say it this way instead"

This is 100% exactly everything I was hoping for

[Ako | Nihongo Picnic @akokitamura]

I wrote an article about business Japanese classes. With the increase of startups and foreign-affiliated companies in Japan, business and keigo customs are changing. We are considering what “business Japanese lessons” should be like as business customs become more diverse. >>

I just want to shout out the life changing magic of having a great teacher correct your awkward way of speaking. Wish I had done this months ago. I probably could have saved my coworkers some trouble

I finally passed the JLPT N2! This has been a goal of mine since I moved to Japan. Thanks to @akokitamura and the other great teachers at @nihongopicnic for their support.

Now to start studying for the even harder N1. But first a little time off to enjoy this accomplishment. 🌟
