GPod - Learning Japanese

We continue our Japanese Language Series with Olly Richards, a polyglot who speaks seven languages. He joins the GPod to talk about his list of 42 Insane Japanese Language Learning Hacks!

Olly asked some of the top languages learners from around the web to send in their best language learning tips and curated the answers into his list.

On this show we take a look at the top 5.

1. You must enjoy the learning process.
2. Use full sentences in your flashcards.
3. Write in Japanese and have it corrected by a native speaker.
4. Find ways to start talking as soon as possible.
5. Think in patterns.

We are also joined by Ryoko Takei who is a Tokyo-based opera singer and runs a website dedicated to promoting Japanese culture through her music. For anyone who likes to learn through song, or if you’re a fan of Japanese opera visit Foster Japanese Songs for more information.
