Nina's Nihongo Zone Episode 2: Onomatopoeia and Mimetic Expressions (Patreon)

Hello patrons! And welcome to the second installment of my ongoing series about the Japanese language - I'll talk about interesting phrases, vocabulary, and grammar, things I learn from Gundam episodes, translation, and really anything related to Gundam and learning Japanese. I am also using this segment to learn more sound-mixing and production skills.

If you have language questions you'd like me to address in a future episode, message me here or email me at gundampodcast.com.

Below are the show notes. Happy listening! - Nina
