TIP FOR FREE Japanese Reading & Conversation Practice (Patreon)

Hope you're having a good start to the week so far!

Just a quick tip I wanted to mention for those of you studying and practicing your Japanese.

Nearly all Abroad in Japan videos over the last 18 months actually have Japanese subtitles on (done professionally by a native Japanese speaker). As a result, surprisingly, it means the videos are really great way of practicing the language and seeing how colloquial expressions in English translate over to Japanese.

We originally put the subtitles up for the Japanese viewers, but recently I've been reading them as a way of practicing Japanese reading and common conversational expressions and it's been incredibly useful.

They're particularly useful in conversation scenes with Ryotaro, where you can see exactly how we'd have the same conversation in Japanese. All you have to do is hit the little 'cog' settings icon and choose 'Japanese" and away you go.

I think there are around 50 videos featuring Japanese; so 50 free practical opportunities to practice colloquial Japanese expressions!

- Great for beginner to intermediate learners.

Let me know if you find it useful at all!
