Hello everyone! welcome to the nihongo kirakira podcast!

I'm Nanaka, your Japanese teacher. This podcast is designed to help you level up your Japanese listening skills.

In this episode, I’m sharing my own daily routine as an example to help you talk about yours in Japanese!

Being able to express yourself—like talking about your daily life, your job, or what you're studying at school—will really open up your communication and boost your speaking skills.

Listen in, and try writing down your own routine so you can practice explaining it, too!
