I’ve been listening to the Japancast podcast recently in preparation for my trip to Japan. Japancast, which is run by Hitomi and Paul, is a website where people with varying skills in Japanese can go to and learn for free. There even a social network on their website for people to make friends whom they can practice Japanese with — like pen pals.
I regret not finding out about this earlier. I doubt I’ll remember that much for my trip, which is in a week. But, I’ll try to learn what I can. I’ll have a phrase book with me, so hopefully communication isn’t going to be too difficult.
