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.🎁 Free guide: How to Improve Your Japanese Listening & Speakinghttps://bit.ly/4qjAdlI✅ Transcripts & Exclusive Lessons: https://www.patreon.com/mochifika/membership/🔗 Website: https://mochifika.com
