Best way to improve speaking and listening
I never realized until I started listening to Nihongo con Teppei that the reason my speaking skills weren't improving is because I wasn't listening to enough native, natural Japanese. Teppei's philosophy is that by listening to a lot of Japanese being spoken in a natural way, by a native speaker, is the fastest and most lasting method for improving your listening, vocabulary, and surprisingly, your speaking ability! As babies we hear our parents and others speaking around us all the time. That's how we learn to speak our native language(s). So if you never spend time listening to Japanese, how can you expect to speak it? The great thing about this podcast is that it never feels like studying, or a chore. It naturally becomes part of your daily routine. He encourages you to listen to it while you're tidying the house, cooking, going for a walk, etc. By hearing Japanese again and again your brain starts to soak up the commonly used words and phrases, and pitch accent too! Then, when you do start practicing your speech, it more naturally comes to mind. I studied Japanese for years at university, and it wasn't until ten years later when I started to listening to this podcast every day, usually for about an hour, that my speaking skills and listening comprehension started improving dramatically. Teppei is funny, light-hearted, and open-minded, so the flow of the podcast is very nice. Sometimes he covers more difficult topics, and sometimes he talks about only different types of desserts! But it all works towards improving your skills. I recommend this podcast to every single one of my friends who is studying Japanese, even the ones who have lived in Japan for years, and they all say the same thing I do--it helps improve your listening and speaking by leaps and bounds with minimal effort, and maximum fun. 10/10, 100/100, 5 stars, 700,000 gold points! Give it a shot!Read full review »
