This podcast explains “Minna no Nihongo (みんなの日本語)” in Easy Japanese, with simple English support. In this series, I use the latest 2025 edition, “Minna no Nihongo Shokyu 1, 3rd Edition (みんなの日本語初級1 第3版).” It does not just translate the textbook. It helps you understand the meaning and background of vocabulary and sentence patterns more deeply. It is designed to be used with my original lesson notes. The notes are based on Minna no Nihongo, but the examples and explanations are my own. If you are a complete beginner, I recommend reading the lesson note first, then listening to the podcast.
