I may have gone slightly overboard over on 8tracks and made about six mixes already to share for immersion purposes. Last time I shared Japanese native speaking, and today I’m going to share some actual music mixes I made for you. Enjoy!
こんにちは、みなさん。
永次 and I would like to provide something new here on Kanji & Tea, and I’m happy to share the first with you. Audio mixes to enhance your learning! You can bookmark the mix easily and listen to it through out your day while you work or while you’re doing other activities. We’ll be [...]
あけましておめでとう!
I mentioned before that 永次 and I like to add Japanese culture and customs into our own as much as possible, so New Years was quite the treat for us. We had taro and green tea flavored mochi and mailed out New Years cards to friends.

Once again, it’s definitely been a while, but this time I’m definitely going to give you an explanation because I feel like it’s high time I gave you one. We’ve still been studying, but during the course of running Kanji & Tea I’ve started working from home full time and it’s been very busy for [...]
Hey everyone! Momo here, and I’ve been super busy with work lately but I wanted to share some motivation/inspiration. I hope you’re still studying!
I found this today and thought it was a great laugh. Please keep in mind that this is merely for your enjoyment and is not meant to be taken personally.
So, you may remember last time we did study apps for the iPhone that 桃 and I landed on Kanji Flip and Kana Flip for our study needs.
And, as we said before, they are good.
Yes, there is a ‘but…’ coming on.
Quick, it’s time to quiz yourself for fun! Take note of the time and go ahead and try to identify as many Kanji and hiragana in the photographs as you can. When you’ve identified all you know, see how long it took you and how many you were able to read. It’s okay if you [...]
Recently I’ve been trying a lot of different methods of learning Japanese. My last post was about how great Hesig’s method of learning is and how learning the English meaning of the Kanji first is very important since it will give you a base to work from that can quite easily launch you into fluency.

Hi again! I know what you’re thinking, “My goodness, so soon?!” Well, I wanted to share a movie that 永次 and I watched the other day. (It’s a lot happier than the movie I watched today, that’s for sure!) ホッタラケの島 〜遥と魔法の鏡〜 is a 2009 release which won several film festival awards, and I can see [...]
Learning Japanese At Home
Our goal for Kanji & Tea, aside from sharing our struggles and successes, is to help provide the everyday person with all the tools necessary to learn Japanese on their own through everyday immersion.

No Excuses
How did you learn your first language? Hands on and not through a text book! You listened, you watched, you absorbed. Well, what's stopping you from learning your second or third language that way? The answer is nothing.
You have everything you need to get started. All that's left is to just start.
