  • sucky glitch
    Highly recommend
    I love the way he breaks down the grammar, while also keeping it interesting and even fun. For me, this helps a lot to remember the points and stay focused. Definitely good material for learning Japanese whether your a beginner or somewhat intermediate! Also please renew your website I can’t access the 30 day challenge bc the website said it expired 😭🙏🏼

  • rainbowlover❤️
    Thank you
    I want to learn Japanese so badly and I am finally learning it. I appreciate you teaching us this language. Arigato!
  • Doctor Songwriter Who!
    Teacher has passion!
    John 先生 is very passionate about teaching Japanese! His dedication to doing this on a daily basis shows that he cares for the beginning learners. He is able to introduce and take good care of those who may or may not be interested in learner the language. Th down side is for the intermediate learners like myself. The 5 minutes needs to be accompanied by some kind of formal training because listening alone doesn’t really do much for me. Being an anime fan made it interesting since John live anime too. After listening to a years worth of back episodes, it’s no doing it for me anymore, but he is still a great motivating teacher.

    5 stars
    When I started this podcast, I was confused by the complexity of the topics of each episode. However, this changed after starting over with the 30-day challenge; from there, Sensei John builds up your knowledge and understanding of Japanese little by little, in 5 minute increments that don’t waste your time nor insult your intelligence. I HIGHLY recommend this podcast for any new speakers or anyone trying to revisit Japanese.
  • Annie7172
    Super helpful, short lessons!
    I truly love and appreciate this podcast. I always want to learn More about Japanese but I don’t always have an hour, so I’ll put on this podcast while I cook or when I’m just hanging out. It has really helped me understand japanese grammar

    Johnny is awesome! Passionate and devoted! Totally worth listening to!
  • DaddyDeeKei
    Awesome Teacher
    Great podcast by a great teacher. This guy learned Japanese by living there and makes his lessons extremely relatable from an American perspective. AMAZING PODCAST, 100% recommend to anyone willing to learn. The guys who rated low stars think they know more japanese than the teacher, which is laughable because he's textbook accurate with an innate sense of the cultural background of the language. Fun to listen to, quality material, easy listening. 日本語の勉強頑張ってね！
  • FengMinSugoi27
    Super Useful
    I like to study Japanese in any way possible and this is a great way to get a little listening in every day. Love it and would recommend for anyone learning 日本語
  • Dai myo
    Thoughtful and energetic
    I’ve worked with Johnny on the app he created and he is super energetic and involved in details of the creation process. He’s a good business partner and works to develop the best possible product for his listeners. I listen to the podcast and learn stuff even though I’m at an intermediate level already. Keep going bro!
  • Muad'Dib 15
    Excellent
    As someone who has lived in Japan for several years and am now studying it in college this is one of the greatest educational tools I have found. He teaches Japanese clearly, skillfully and in a fun way. The best Japanese learning tool i have found yet!
  • joalicediaz
    What’s Japanese for Waste it Time
    This is not good. This guy is arrogant and ineffective. Not worth listening to
  • TheHimitsu
    Good for grammar
    John Sensei is just what Japanese teaching needs. He is well put together and the daily podcast makes learning Japanese manageable. Well done.
  • AnimekabutoAizenFanGirl
    Thank you!
    Thank you so much for this podcast! Trying to study for N3 of the JLPT & love listening to your podcasts for grammar & listening. ありがとうございます漫画先生！
  • Alanis18
    Quick lessons for those with limited time
    I like that each episode focuses on one concept at a time. If I could change anything, I’d have more time spent on examples/explanation of concepts. I’d like the show to be a little longer, because most episodes don’t actually last 5 minutes. However, it is good for fitting a little bit of Japanese practice in when crunched for time.
  • iJuke31
    Fantastic
    It’s difficult for many podcasts to release an episode every week...This man does it almost every day! Learning Japanese is a never-ending journey and every student is guaranteed to learn something here.
  • Cunning Cockatoo
    Not helpful.
    You speak so quickly, it is difficult to understand. Not your Japanese, rather your English explanations are so incredibly hurried it is difficult to understand what you mean.
  • vergillll
    Fun
    Fast and fun! Thank you
  • Stacy dinkel
    Well done
    So organized. I really like how it is put together. Nice job
