Slow Japanese

Akari (Mochifika)

Slow Japanese™ was launched in 2021 by Akari (Mochifika). It’s a podcast for beginner to intermediate Japanese learners (A1 - B1/B2).
I’m Akari, a certified Japanese teacher. My motto is: “Even beginners can start speaking from Day 1.”
I created this podcast after seeing many learners struggle with listening and speaking, to make these skills feel easier and more natural, even for beginners.
