Fun way to learn

The podcast along with the transcript and supplementary materials on the website are super helpful. A fun way to learn without a traditional text book.

Effective Reinforcement

Yumi’s unhurried delivery makes these podcasts easy to digest. Perfect for “shadowing” practice. Each episode has a sensible amount of new vocabulary and kanji. Not overwhelming. Use the transcripts to practice reading. I’ve been an intermittent customer of TheJapanShop for several years. I keep coming back!
