This channel is run by two native Japanese instructors!
We speak slowly and design our audio so you can practice listening and speaking along.
We’re here to fully support beginner Japanese learners.

Chino is a former Kumon instructor.
She recommends immersion learning—repeating and listening in large amounts is the key to mastering a language.
She may look like a cute young girl, but she’s actually in her 60s. Kind of like Detective Conan, right? (LOL)

Hana supports this channel.
She’s in her 30s and moved to Finland in March 2025 after getting married.
She loves video games and is planning to create videos where you can learn Japanese through gaming!

We also offer channel memberships—feel free to join us 😊

いっしょに にほんごの べんきょうを しましょう！

Hello. I’m Chino. Today, I’ll be talking about Park Sona’s job interview. Please press the CC button to display subtitles. I am Park Sona. Today, I have a part-time job interview at Sakura Cafe. I woke up at 6 in the morning. That’s earlier than usual. I might be nervous. While brushing my teeth in the washroom, I was thinking about today’s interview. I practiced for the interview with a friend, so I’m not too worried. But I’m a little nervous. What should I wear? I wonder if a white shirt would be okay. It makes me look presentable, right? The interview location is the Sakura Cafe headquarters. I’ll check it again on Google Maps. The interview is at 1 PM. I have to make sure I don’t forget my resume. I should also check the bus schedule. I wonder if the 12:30 PM bus is a good choice. That might be a little late. I’ll take the 12:15 PM bus. I’m ready. I’m heading out. Oh, the bus is here. The light is green. I have to cross quickly before it turns red. Good. I made it in time. I’ll get off at the next bus stop. Is this the building? Where’s the entrance? Oh, there it is. Wow, I’m starting to get nervous. My heart is pounding. I’ll take the elevator to the 5th floor. Sona-san, this way, please. Ah, thank you for your time today. No, thank you for coming. My name is Takagi, and I’ll be conducting the interview. Now, could I please see your resume? Yes, here you are. Thank you. So you’re from South Korea. Please introduce yourself. Yes. I am studying Japanese at a university in Japan. I have loved Japanese anime since I was a child. That’s why I came to Japan this spring, wanting to learn about Japanese life and culture. I want to become much, much better at Japanese by working part-time at Sakura Cafe. Sona-san, your Japanese is very good. Have you ever had a part-time job in Japan? No, not yet. This is my first time. I worked part-time at a restaurant in South Korea. I would guide customers to their seats and take their food orders. I want to learn the Japanese way of working as well. Thank you. At Sakura Cafe, your job will be to guide customers and take their orders. Can you work weekend or evening shifts? Yes. I have classes on weekdays, so after 6 PM and on Saturdays and Sundays, I am always available. It’s very helpful that you can work on weekends too. The hourly wage is 1200 yen on weekdays and 1300 yen on weekends. Yes, I understand. Thank you. What is your reason for wanting to work at Sakura Cafe? Sakura Cafe is close to my house. I often come here with my friends. The staff at Sakura Cafe are always smiling and very kind. I also want to do a job that makes customers smile. Also, I like the cute latte art here. I would like to try making latte art myself someday. I’m happy to hear that. Finally, do you have any questions? Yes. Is there a uniform? Yes, there is. We will give it to you on your first day of work. I see. Thank you. Thank you for today. I could really feel your desire to work, Sona-san. We will contact you by email later with the results of the interview. Yes, thank you for your consideration. Thank you very much for today. Ah, my heart was pounding. I wonder if I was able to speak properly. I hope I can work at Sakura Cafe. Oh, an email. Subject: Notification of Employment Regarding the result of your interview Dear Park Sona, Thank you very much for coming to the part-time job interview at Sakura Cafe. As a result of the interview, we would be delighted to have you, Sona-san, work as a part-timer at our cafe.
