Hello from scorching Tokyo! I hope everyone is doing great.
July brought a big seasonal transition—from the end of the rainy season to the beginning of the hot summer. Most days were hot and humid, which wasn’t always pleasant, but we’ve all managed to get through the whole month. Well done!
I have a little announcement. This month, I started a new podcast channel. My mission is to create audio content that helps you listen to natural, casual Japanese, pick up everyday expressions, and learn intonation, pacing, and rhythm.
Everyone speaks differently. Everyone has a different voice. Everyone has their own way of speaking.
But if you enjoy listening to me—I hope some of you do—please feel free to use the podcast for shadowing, listening practice, and testing your comprehension.
I also started a new weekly lesson series for committed learners. Using each podcast episode, I create lessons with all-round learning materials, including key vocabulary, useful expressions, an accurate transcript, a nuanced English translation, my personal notes, and an exclusive chat where you can ask me any questions you may have.
To support your summer study, I will unlock one lesson for a limited time until the end of August! I hope you enjoy it.
If you would simply like to listen to the audio, you can visit my YouTube channel or RedCircle.
I’m thinking of recording a Q&A episode at some point. Would you be interested?
If you are going on a long summer holiday, enjoy it! If not—well, let’s still enjoy the summer together.
