BeginnerFreeEasyListeningPodcast, Web
Good fit if
- Beginners who want spoken Japanese every day
- Commuters who will actually press play
- Learners who can tolerate incomplete understanding
Look elsewhere if
- You need a full transcript and grammar notes first
- You want JLPT item practice
- Podcasts never get finished in your life
Nihongo con Teppei is a free podcast of spoken Japanese aimed at beginners. Episodes are short on purpose. The job is ear time, not a syllabus.
Who it fits
It fits people who will play an episode while walking or commuting, and who can live with not catching every word.
Limits
It is not a grammar reference and it is not a pronunciation lab. If you want official numbered audio lessons, try NHK World Easy Japanese. Keep NHK News Web Easy if you want text plus audio.
