About YUYU
Hi! I'm YUYU (Yusuke), a Japanese teacher living in Mexico. I created this podcast because I believe the best way to learn Japanese is through natural, engaging content.
Teaching Philosophy
I believe language learning should be fun and natural. Through my podcast, novels, and lessons, I create content that helps you absorb Japanese the way native speakers actually use it — through stories, conversations, and real-world topics.
