🎧N5で わかる! Listning Practice | 'From a Wine Shop in Japan to a Teaching Life in the UK' : My Story

"Yahho! How are you doing?" Welcome to the very first episode of my podcast! In this episode, I share my personal story: ・The meaning behind the greeting "Yahho!" ・Why I decided to become a Japanese teacher 10 years ago (in a wine shop). ・My current life in the UK and why I started making YouTube lessons. ・A special message to all of you studying Japanese. This podcast is created for JLPT N5 learners. I speak slowly and use simple words, providing English explanations for difficult vocabulary.
