【A podcast for people learning Japanese】 This podcast is built around one idea: going from listening to speaking. Full scripts, shadowing material, everything you need is here — so you're training your ear👂 and your mouth🗣️, not just your ears.
I'm Keity, a native Japanese speaker from Tokyo, and a certified Japanese language teacher. Once a week or so, I read a short, diary-style story about my everyday life — work, hobbies, how I'm feeling, what's ahead for me. It's based on my own real experience, just told in a way that's easy to follow.
The Japanese I use here is clear and genuine, even if you're just starting out. Not news-anchor tone, not anime-character energy, not speech chopped up with unnatural pauses just to sound "easy." It's paced a little slower, for learners, and I try to start with the kind of content beginner learners can actually copy and use for themselves.

🎙️Welcome — Let's Have Tea First
Nice to meet you, I'm Keity. This is the first episode, so I want to introduce myself. When Japanese people talk at their normal speed, it can be hard to catch every word. So in this podcast, I speak a little slower than usual. Please relax and listen, like we're having tea together.
