Deep Dive
Why did Tomo decide to explain the podcast again?
Tomo decided to explain the podcast again because the number of followers has recently increased to around 66,000, and many new listeners might not be familiar with the podcast's purpose and structure.
What is the main purpose of Tomo's podcast?
The main purpose of Tomo's podcast is to provide listeners with opportunities to hear natural, everyday Japanese at various levels, helping those who find textbooks insufficient for understanding real Japanese conversations.
What levels of Japanese does the podcast cover?
The podcast covers Japanese levels from N4 to N2, focusing on vocabulary and grammar appropriate for these levels. N5 is rarely covered due to limited vocabulary and grammar, and N1 is not covered as listeners at this level can practice with regular Japanese media.
How does Tomo handle listener requests for topics?
Tomo encourages listeners to send topic requests via email or direct messages on Instagram or Twitter, as comments on platforms like Apple Podcasts can be missed. He aims to respond or create episodes based on requests within a month, but reminders are needed if there's no response after two months.
What additional activities does Tomo organize for podcast listeners?
Tomo organizes events like Zoom drinking parties during special occasions such as the end of the year or New Year's celebrations, aiming to create more interactive experiences beyond the podcast.
