Learn Japanese with Sally

Learn Japanese with Sally is hosted by a certified Japanese teacher with 30 years of teaching experience, and that depth of expertise shapes every episode. The show targets JLPT N3 to N4 level learners -- solidly in the beginner to lower-intermediate range -- with three distinct episode formats that rotate throughout the week. Educational episodes introduce grammar concepts and vocabulary through themed lessons. Reading episodes feature Japanese texts spoken aloud at a learner-friendly pace, building listening comprehension alongside reading skills. Grammar-focused episodes zero in on specific patterns with clear explanations and examples. With around 90 episodes and a publishing pace of multiple episodes per week, the catalog is growing quickly. Sally runs Japanese Club SOLA and also offers supplementary courses on Udemy with subtitles in English, Spanish, German, French, and Chinese, reflecting her commitment to reaching a global audience of Japanese learners. Episodes typically run four to eight minutes, making them compact enough to fit into any schedule. The variety in episode types means you can choose what to focus on based on your mood -- active grammar study one day, passive listening practice the next. Recent episodes cover topics like Japanese cats and sakura culture, blending language instruction with cultural content that keeps the learning engaging. For beginners who want a teacher-led experience with structured progression, Sally brings classroom-quality instruction to the podcast format.
