  • EP:76There Is / There Are Practice 🇯🇵 | Arimasu & Imasu
    Aug 3 2026

    Practice あります (arimasu) and います (imasu) with this beginner-friendly Japanese lesson!

    In this practice episode, we’ll do:
    ✅ Round 1 – Repeat after me (English → Japanese)
    ✅ Round 2 – Situation practice (Translate before I answer!)

    You’ll practice useful everyday phrases like:

    • Nihon ni wa shiki ga arimasu.
    • Shinjuku ni wa takusan no hito ga imasu.
    • Watashi wa kyou ie ni imasu.
    • Dareka imasu ka?
    • Kono chikaku ni toire wa arimasu ka?
    • Pen arimasu ka?
    • Chiketto arimasu ka?

    🎧 If you haven’t listened to Episode 75 yet, I recommend starting there first. It explains when to use arimasu and imasu, and this episode helps you practice them naturally.

    I upload a new Japanese podcast almost every day to help beginners speak natural Japanese through short grammar lessons, culture tips, listening practice, and speaking practice.

    🇯🇵 Private Japanese lessons are also available on italki!

  • EP:75 There Is? Have?|Arimasu & Imasu
    Aug 2 2026

    In this episode, we’ll learn the difference between あります (arimasu) and います (imasu).

    These words are often translated as “there is / there are,” but in real Japanese they can also mean have, exist, or simply describe a situation.

    You’ll learn:

    • arimasu vs imasu
    • People vs things
    • Useful travel phrases
    • Why Japanese doesn’t change for singular and plural

    After listening to this episode, go back and listen to the previous Japanese Only Challenge episode—you’ll understand much more!
