The Slow-to-Fast Way to Understand Fast Japanese Conversations

If you’re like most beginners… you find that real Japanese conversations are just way too fast for a beginner’s ear. And as such, impossible to learn from.

But there IS a way to start understanding native-speed Japanese…

…even if you’re a beginner. How? Simply by slowing things down.

As the saying goes, “Slow is smooth, smooth is fast.” If you can slow the conversation down, you’ll understand the fast original version as well.

While you can’t do it with real life conversations…

JapanesePod101 does it for you — it’s built into our learning program… and all you have to do is take the lessons.

1. Just follow the Pathway & take the lessons: In every lesson, you’ll learn an everyday Japanese conversation. First, you hear it at native speed. Then, you’ll hear it slowed down. Then, our teachers explain and translate everything — so you understand it all. Finally, you’ll hear it one last time at native speed.

2. Play the Dialogue tracks at slow speed: The Dialogue tracks give you just the conversation, no translations. You can slow down the speed with the player controls.

3. Play the conversation one line at a time… with the Line-by-Line Audio Dialogue. You can also read along as you listen for 100% comprehension.
