A taste of the teaching

The teacher takes Japanese apart for you.

Instead of a flat translation, you hear why a word means what it means — broken into its pieces, in a native accent, then the show resumes. Here's the kind of thing you'll hear:

  • 木 (ko)tree
  • 漏れ (more)leaking
  • 日 (bi)sunlight
What you'll hear

木漏れ日 (komorebi) means sunlight filtering through the leaves of trees. “Tree-leaking-light” — the dapple of sun coming through a canopy.
