【JLPT N4-N3 / Bridge to Intermediate Japanese】

Hi everyone, it's Kiki! 🌸

Are you stuck between "Not a beginner anymore, but not yet intermediate"?

You can understand Japanese, but you can’t speak it.

The words just don't come out. If you want to break out of that cycle, you are in the right place!

In this episode, I share some funny, real-life stories like putting on a bit of makeup for the gym just in case I run into someone, calling a popular head massage place to check for last-minute openings even if they might be fully booked, and setting 4 different alarms because of the absolute fear of oversleeping! 💄📞⏰

Discover the real ways Japanese people use "Ichiou" (一応) in daily conversations to do things just in case or as a precaution in an approachable, lighthearted way—far beyond what textbooks teach you! ✨

Enjoy this natural, slow, and comfortable 15-minute conversation!
