  • S11E2: Study Saturday - Japanese Particles

    This Study Saturday is kind of a follow-up from our previous one, where we looked at two particles “kara” and “made”, to mean from and until. Check that one out if you haven’t already!


    In this episode, we’ll look at Japanese particles! It’s one of the first things you notice when learning Japanese is the particles. We don’t have those in the English language, so it might be a bit difficult to fully grasp its usage when you’re first starting out.


    Now, you’ve come to the right place to get a bit of clarification on the matter. Podcast host Azra covers the most important particles you need in the next few minutes! It’s formatted slightly differently from our usual Study Saturday episodes, but don't worry, you still get your examples with the new language points!

  • S11E1: How Significant is Sakura in Japanese Culture?

    We’re kicking off a new season yet again! Season 11’s theme is a little more fun and lighter than the previous one, but it’s also shorter. As we welcome the month of March, we also say goodbye to winter and hello to spring — this season will look at Japanese Spring!


    And what do we associate spring in Japan with? I don’t know about you, but I automatically think of cherry blossoms. The unofficial flower of Japan is going to be the topic to kick this season off! 


    The flower and everything that comes with it takes up a huge part of the tradition that is extremely visible to this very day.  Sakura is a thing of the past, present and future of Japan. Let’s delve into the significance of cherry blossom in Japanese culture in this episode!

  • S10E10: The Uniqueness of Japanese Dating Culture (Valentine's Day Special)

    Podcast host Azra breaks down the dating culture in Japan! 

    Just like the rest of Japanese culture, dating in Japan isn’t exactly the same as in the rest of the world. If you’ve watched your fair share of anime and J dramas, you’d realise that already.


    So, as a Valentine’s Day special since it’s just around the corner, we’re going to walk you through the Japanese dating culture, in three phrases: the dating phase, the commitment phase and the getting physical phase. 

    Take this as practice before going on that first date with a Japanese gal or guy.

  • S10E7: Essential Japanese Etiquette For Travellers

    Japanese mannerisms are abundant, and some might say that there are a bit too many to remember in a short period of time for a short trip.

    Podcast host Azra gives more of an overview of a very popular collection of Japanese mannerisms in this episode, and that’s those for travellers!

    The other episodes in this season are zoomed into various etiquette categories, like greetings and table manners. And of course, they are just as important as the ones mentioned in this episode. 

    But this special long mid-season episode is for those in a rush to get into the minimal Japanese manners mode for that week-long Japan trip we all hope to be on this year (like finally).
