にほんごストーリー　Learn Japanese Through Stories with Yuzu

Yuzu"s Japanese Podcast

Hi, I’m Yuzu! Welcome to my podcast, where Japanese learners worldwide can enjoy stories read by me, with subtitles. I create stories for levels A1 to B1, helping you improve listening skills while enjoying engaging content. Each episode is designed not just by vocabulary difficulty but also by grammar focus. Some stories, for example, avoid te-form or nai-form, allowing step-by-step practice. Listen, read along, and immerse yourself in Japanese at your level!
