Simply wonderful! Content is various and always interesting, length is perfect, speech speed just right to train for conversational level and not only that…natural transcripts with complex words/harder kanji meanings and translation listed at the bottom!! FYI - I couple this with Wanikani app for Kanji learning and it is always so exciting to see a newly learned kanji appear in her podcast as I progress.

Great for listening practice. I really appreciate the high quality of the audio and pronunciation. If I don't understand something on this podcast I know it's because of my Japanese ability!

I’m taking my Japanese to a new level by listening to this entertaining podcast. Noriko San speaks in a conversational tone that is excellent for learning everyday language. ( I listen over and over and over until I master new phrases and vocabulary) highly recommended. Check out the website learnjapanesewithnoriko.com for more.

I really like this podcast. Noriko talks clearly, not too fast, not too slow. She's very likable, very fun to listen to. There are tons of episodes, and they're short; good for a quick listerning session, or do a few if you want to study longer. And most importantly for me, SHE HAS TRANSCRIPTS! Transcripts are indispensable to me. Double check, collect vocabulary-- it's so useful. Thanks Noriko!!

Beginner crossing over to Intermediate level. She has a lovely voice, and chooses good conversation topics. Give this a go, you won’t be disappointed.

I really enjoy the content and the clarity of each episode. It’s perfect for me as an intermediate learner.

I like this podcast a lot. The topics are interesting; Noriko's speech is clear and moderately paced; and although a transcript of each episode isn't available, each episode description has a list of the more unusual words that are used. I copy and paste the list into Google Translate to and find this is often enough to help me understand most of the episode. Compared to podcasts with a similar target audience, this one stands out for how professional it sounds. Even the background music is pleasant.
