Show guide
Japanese with Teppei and Noriko pairs two well-loved teachers for relaxed, natural conversation — a friendly way into intermediate listening. Here’s how to study with it in Wakatta.
About the show
Teppei and Noriko chat in natural, unscripted Japanese about everyday topics — two voices bouncing off each other instead of a single monologue, which makes it great practice for real conversation. It sits around N3, a comfortable next step once solo shows feel easy.
