❁ Japanese podcast recommendations for intermediate learners (N3/N2) ❁

(Some of these may overlap with the advanced version if they’re suitable for both!)

Lots of interviews/guest talks and deeper topics about life, which makes this one quite unique compared to other podcasts! I especially love Miku’s reflections and perspectives on philosophical topics (the language is still easy to understand for anyone with upper intermediate level and above).

I discovered this recently through Miku’s podcast above so I haven’t listened to all of the episodes, but I would say it’s accessible for N3+ and I especially like her unique travel stories!

This is probably the easiest podcast on the list, especially the earlier episodes, but I still listen to it regularly because I love Layla’s energy and kind attitude!

I think everyone knows this one but it’s definitely worth the hype. My personal favourites are the history episodes and the ghost stories, but there are lots of interesting discussions about the Japanese language too.

I mentioned this in the advanced post, but there are a lot of episodes also suitable for N3 and above.

Also mentioned in the advanced post, but suitable for upper intermediate/N2.

I haven’t actually listened to many of these but I think it’s suitable for lower intermediate, I also like that the episodes come with a vocabulary list

Also suitable for lower intermediate and above!

recently got into japanese edo era rakugo stories (imagine one guy on a pillow reading out a absurdly long joke story, complete with voice acting and spoken sound effects, all just as a 30minutesetup for a terrible pun) and found A Selection of highly creative insults.

some of the highlights, basically all meaning "numbskull":

otankonasu おたんこなす. debated etymology but one theory is an abbreviation of 炭鉱の茄子 (lit. "COAL MINE EGGPLANT.") because allegedly it's hard to sell eggplants near coal mines due to the dust, ie. a thing quite useless.

touhenboku 唐変木 (lit. "IMPORTED STRANGE TREE".)

the etymology is likely from 唐木 referring to chinese-imported wood for carving. a strangly shaped piece of wood would be impossible to carve and thus, is also quite useless.

and my favorite,

tofu no kado ni atama wo tsukete shine 豆腐の角に頭をぶつけて死ね . "go hit your head on the corner of a block of tofu and die." , sarcastically meaning "god, you're dumb enough as to find a way to get injured on the softest object imaginable"

The few sentences I came up with for my homework assignment practicing adjectives and using 好きな/きらいな.

1.) 今日はひるごはんにおいしいピザを食べました。ピザが大好きです。

Today, I had delicious pizza for lunch. I love pizza!

2.) しゅくだいはやさしかったです。でもきらいでした。

The homework is easy. But I didn't like it. (I think I would've wanted to say I don't like doing homework. But didn't think that up on the fly)

3.) 今日はとてもひまでした。よくねました。風邪をひくのがきらいです。

Today, I had lots of free time. I slept a lot. I don't like having a cold.

One day, I'll be able to write the kanji's without looking them up, but I was really going for speedy recall since I thought these up and wrote them 30min before my tutoring session this evening.

If anyone has any recommendations for other ways to translate what I was saying, I welcome them!

Hiragana Mnemonics for き/さ/ち

I was recently struggling to find a way to relate all of these characters together to remember them easier—since they all look very similar.

This is what I've finally come up with.

き (ki) is a key. It opens locks/doors/safes/etc.

さ (sa) is a SAnded down key, the original key could not fit in the keyhole, so you had to refine the edges (remove one horizontal line)

ち (chi) is completely flipped, you wanted to get a new key, but instead of SAnding it to fit perfectly, you bought a CHI (CHEAP) key that didn't fit at all (hence why it's facing the opposite direction).

🇯🇵 7/8/2026

Resource: Tobira for Beginners 1 : アイです。はじめまして。

I started to get back into Japanese music and I realized I could either keep dropping this language or be able to say I speak something after all these years.

I am trying a new method for Tobira since I find notes boring. I color coded every grammar point and a quick note to summarize it. Then went through and highlighted. Some words in bright colors and in brown are just vocab I want to note. And the circled words are a new phrase/slang I have never heard before.

My handwriting was very shaky as I was remembering the stroke order. I will definitely need to improve! But otherwise a nice study session ✨

x Lesson 1

x Made flashcards on renshuu

x Prepped for textbook questions tomorrow

To do 7/9/2026

o Review flashcards

o Complete lesson 1 textbook questions

o Prep for workbook review
