[N5-N4] 20min Japanese listening practice story | Moving to Japan

Practice your Japanese listening with a 19-minute animated story for beginners (JLPT N5–N4). Slow, natural conversations from a first week living in Japan: getting the keys from an estate agent, meeting the neighbour, registering your address at the ward office, booking the gas, shopping for a new home, and a first visit to a public bath. Emma in Japan, Episode 5 "Tadaima": Emma is back in Tokyo, this time on a working holiday visa, to live with Kenji. She moves into their new flat in Yanaka first, and it's empty: no curtains, no washing machine, no ceiling light, and no hot water. Kenji moves in on Saturday night, and he wants curry. Can she make the flat feel like home by then? 🌐 Subtitles: tap CC for English, Bahasa Indonesia, 中文（繁體）, ไทย, 한국어, Tiếng Việt, Español, Português, Français, Deutsch, or romaji. 📝 Learn Japanese that sticks: we're building an app with short daily reviews of words and grammar.
