Do you want to learn how to use Japanese in your everyday life? Coto Sounds is a podcast for Japanese learners, where you can learn how to use Japanese casually. With our short 5 minute conversations between our native speakers, you can learn how to say everyday Japanese phrases in common situations such as grabbing lunch, to asking for directions to visiting the doctor's office. At the end of each episode, we feature a full translation and key vocabulary to take away from the conversation.
