Why did I start this podcast?

After listening to many “beginner” Japanese podcasts, I realized that many of them were still too difficult for complete beginners.

So I created Real Japanese with Kimi — a podcast for people starting from zero.

If you’re planning a trip to Japan or want to learn practical Japanese step by step, this podcast is for you.

Let’s learn real Japanese together, little by little.
