I guess is totally fine to listen at N3. I don’t know my jlpt level but I finished the book Tobira, and I’m able to understand at least 80% of the content. As you are studying to N2, probably you will understand everything.
Ah thank you! This podcast seems to be designed for Japanese learners, so the host speaks a little slowly and repeats himself - but it’s a lot more natural than most learning materials so it’s really good for me. I was trying to listen to ひいきびいき and there’s just so much vocab I don’t know
I always listen ひいきびいき on my commute to work! And, man oh man, do I only understand like less than half of what they’re saying. But they’re still so pleasant to listen to that I just 頑張る. I’m planning on listening to their whole catalog and then just restarting. Hopefully the 2nd time around I’ll actually be able to get something from it.
That’s a pretty nice podcast!
I just listened to half of the first episode (I only had 5 minutes to spare…) and, except for the first 15 seconds or so, which were awkward, the host seems to have a good idea of what he is doing.
I guess it helps that he has experience with language learning. (Also, I agree with him about the lack of material aimed at intermediate learners).
