Learn Japanese 172: Interview w/ Adam Shapiro of Japanese Level Up

Learn Japanese 172: Interview w/ Adam Shapiro of Japanese Level Up

Today my interview is with the blogger, Japanese expert, and my senpai Adam Shapiro. You may also know him as the guy who runs Jalup or Japaneselevelup.com a Japanese language blog, influencer site, Japanese tip hub, and Japanese learning system. Plus anytime you talk to Adam about Japanese you are going to get something worth your while.

In this interview with Adam, we go into the highs and lows of Japanese learning. How to improve your speaking and go deep into the reasons and methods people can use to study the world's best language.

Just as a heads up, however, we do both speak Japanese REALLY fast in this episode. My friend John Sorenson said that we were going something like 100mph when we were talking so just so you know.

Lastly, this is one of my favorite interviews of all time. Right above the interview with Toru and right beside Jeff and John's episode. I hope you enjoy it and please tell me when you think on the website:
