• Japanese Listening for JLPT N4: Convenience Stores in Japan | Ep. 1
    Jul 11 2026

    Practice your JLPT N4 Japanese listening skills with one of Japan's most iconic everyday spots -- the convenience store, or 'konbini'!

    In this natural-speed listening episode, I share what makes them so special, from sending packages and paying bills to printing a newspaper from the day you were born.

    You'll pick up everyday vocabulary like 新聞(しんぶん)(newspaper), 機械(きかい)(machine), and 商品(しょうひん)(product) -- all spoken at natural speed with full English subtitles throughout.

    Perfect for JLPT N4 learners and intermediate Japanese students!
