Japanese Podcast Recommendations – Part 2
Posted on 09. Aug, 2010 @ 2:40 pm by harvey in Art, Language, Media Views: 2,809
Got great feedback from the first Podcast Recommendation post, so here’s another one!
This video podcast will introduce you to the ancient Japanese poems, Manyoushuu.
You would have to have incredibly advanced Japanese mad skillz to understand the language used in the actual poems the first time around, but don’t worry, most Japanese can’t either. That’s the point of this podcast. It will help you!
After they introduce the poem they will then use modern Japanese to explain the meaning. This podcast is, as was the other personal tech one, geared towards native Japanese speakers, so it doesn’t pull any punches. It’s real Japanese in action.
I love this podcasat because… well… I’m not a softy… usually… I mean geez… 何というのかな。 これは奇麗だよ！泣きたくなるぐらい美しい！！！
… What? I had something in my eye.
Anyway, let me know how you like it in the comments, and let me know if you have any other recommendations!
Search the iTunes Store podcasts for “Manyoushu” and you can find this one.
Here is a direct link to the Manyoushuu podcast in the iTunes Store.
Here you can snag the Manyoushuu Podcast .mp3 files individually.
They also have a proper Manyoushuu website here.
You can learn about Manyoushuu on Wikipedia… where else?
Enjoy!
