How Much Japanese Do You Really Need? My thoughts...

from Ohazassu Podcast · host John

How much Japanese do you actually need to live in Japan? After 13 years here, I’ve realized the answer is very different from what textbooks and online debates claim.If you’re learning Japanese, or thinking about moving to Japan, I hope this episode takes some pressure off and gives you a clearer path forward.============== Ohazassu Links ==============Website: https://www.ohazassu.com X: https://x.com/ohazassu Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ohazassu/ ============= External Links ============= • Zipf’s Law (Wikipedia): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zipf%27s_lawBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ohazassu-podcast--5905520/support.
