Study Japanese with podcasts!

I became already during my stay in Japan a big fan of podcasts. Podcasts are great! They are great to shorten the time in public transportation or to keep in touch with a foreign language or country. Here are some of my favorite podcasts:

• http://www.japanesepod101.com - they provide you with a daily 15 - 20 min podcast with a short dialog in Japanese and grammar and vocabulary explanations in English
  

Japan

• http://www.podkost.com/ - Kilian, who is living in Tokyo talks about Japan, Japanese and his life there (in German). His recent podcast is online since last December and there will be hopefully some new episodes soon. But listen to his old episodes! It's definitely worth it!
