Welcome to Uncle's Slow Japanese!
This channel is for Japanese learners (JLPT N3-N4) who want to experience "Real Japanese" just as it’s spoken in daily life.
Unlike textbooks or scripted lessons, I talk naturally—including the "umms," "errs," and those natural pauses (fillers) that native speakers actually use. I speak slowly and clearly so you can train your ears without feeling overwhelmed.
Join me as I share:
Traditional Japanese food (like Okonomiyaki!)
The beautiful countryside and rice fields of Japan
Daily thoughts and culture from a native's perspective
New Video Every Saturday!
