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 sweet and funny real-life stories, like finding a winter-limited strawberry drink at the supermarket and buying it ahead of time for my sister's visit next week, spending my Sunday night prep-cooking a huge batch of soup so my exhausted future self can relax during busy weekdays, and a clever morning makeup routine hack of stacking a brand-new tissue box right under the nearly empty one so I never run out in a rush! 🍓🍲💄
Discover the real ways Japanese people use "~tokou" (〜とこう) in daily conversations to talk about preparing things in advance for your future self or loved ones in a friendly, casual way—just like the title "Ichigo kawaii! Kattokou!" ✨
Enjoy this natural, slow, and comfortable 13-minute conversation!

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 my mom completely mixing up her favorite idol's concert date and causing a huge panic, a tragic yet clumsy mistake after eating a delicious ice cream at night, and falling fast asleep on the train after an exhausting week only to wake up at a completely unknown station! 🎤🍦😭
Discover the real ways Japanese people use "~chatta" (〜ちゃった) in daily conversations to talk about accidental mistakes or regrettable results in a friendly, casual way—like you're chatting with a friend! ✨
Enjoy this natural, slow, and comfortable 15-minute conversation!

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!
