Japan News Podcast

Skuu · (#1 (**permalink**))

Hi all! I'm thinking of starting my own blog/podcast on general Japanese news, culture and language. I've done one and am looking for as much advice and criticism as possible, so feel free to say exactly what you think either here or in the comments section of the blog.

Sorry if this is the wrong place for this, wasn't sure where to post.

Thanks to all who spend the time giving it a read/listen.

Why is it dated "Monday, 12th of August, 2009"?

Thanks for pointing that out although I corrected that a few hours ago. Don't know why you still saw it just now.

EDIT: right I say it in the audio. Mistake lol. Thanks.

It is short and sweet, not bad.

You have good pronunciation, except for the word "machi" your "a" rhymes with "hey" when it should be more "ah" as in "Arthur"

Thanks very much for your compliment, means a lot to me coming from you!

I hadn't noticed that in my speech. I'll practise it before my next recording.

Anything else you think should be added or changed? I'm aiming to do a general Japan podcast since I couldn't find one like that (only travel ones on iTunes really).

Oh and I edited the date in the audio.
