Welcome to Like My Anime — the podcast for Japanese learners, anime fans, and anyone who’s ever wondered if binge-watching can actually teach you a language.

Whether you’re a total beginner, stuck at intermediate, or just tired of language learning advice that sounds like it was written by a robot, this show is for you.

Hosted by an English teacher living in Japan (that's me 👋), Like My Anime blends language learning strategies, media analysis, and linguistics insights — all through the lens of Japanese pop culture. We’ll break down anime, manga, dramas, and games to help you learn Japanese in a way that's practical, fun, and, frankly, a little chaotic.

New episodes every other Wednesday. First 3 episodes drop April 9th!

What you'll get every other Wednesday:

✨ Japanese media reviews with language learner-friendly tips

✨ Study strategies that actually work (and won’t burn you out)

✨ Linguistics nuggets because language is weird and wonderful

✨ Productivity hacks to help you stay consistent

✨ Honest conversations about the highs and lows of learning Japanese

Language learning doesn’t have to be boring.

It doesn’t have to be gatekeep-y.

And it definitely doesn’t have to involve memorizing 2,000 kanji before you can even say your name.
