This one will get saged into oblivion, but here I go.

I want a ton of vocal podcasts to learn japanese. I just grabbed a job as a janitor for 20$/hour, and I work 8 hours every night. Shit gets really lonely, so I am going to learn japanese(I know, I am still doing books and looking the kanji etc).

Does that even exists?

I just want you to know I am really jealous of your job.
I work for minimum wage and still need to interact with people.

I would go NEET if I actually had to work hard at my job

I am so fucking tired. It's pretty fun tho, seriously.

It's motivating because of the salary, and the job itself is not boring as shit, honestly. However, I am out of shape, 40 pounds overweight, and after my first shift I have blisters on my hands.

But fuck this, I've worked at 9$ hour dealing with shitty ass customers for 3 years in a gas station. Never again.

>>8034649
That's nice.

>>8034643
I used to. I know that feel, extremely well.

So, anyone has an idea? I want to start the downloads before I go die on my bed for 10 hours.

Download pimsluer mp3s. Pretty much the most effective way to learn conversational Japanese without paper.

polite sage

I did work in a cosmetic shop, was the only guy there lol.
Wasn't hard to work , I could go every 30 mins to smoke a cigarette and the girls where nice,I remember 1 girl used to bring us all food she made at home so we can try it and tell her how it tasted.

Customers, where most of the time polite, except some old grannies they had always something to complain about.


Btw OP, get some sony psp or w8 for the vita, you could download some japanese learning book and read it on your psp and play games later when you get bored.

... I was reading Genki notebook on my cellphone, but playing games is a no-no. If I finish my work faster than the allowed time, I actually can fuck off and get paid while I'm sitting at home.

I talked to the guy that made me do my training, he says last 4 guys quit withing the shift or in the very week. I don't understand. I did that with one job that was from 10 pm to 6 am minimum wage stocking shelves. It was harder than what I'm doing, shittier company, retarded employees and the greediest corp ever.

Also, I applied 3 months ago with FULL disponibility alongside with knowing someone that worked for the company for 10 years, and 2 others that works there since 1 year ago.

I didn't even say anything tho, I don't think he knows... or he might. I don't care, I was so enjoyed when it happened.

>>8034664
Yes.
People will find out that you are playing games in the middle of the night.
Seriously no need to be a coward. Taking an hour break playing game is pretty normal.

Went to subways and read the newspaper

"Net radio" from seiyuu and the like are really good to listen to.

Unfortunately most are streaming. Your best bet is to save ones off nico nico douga using nicosound.anyap.info.

A few shows I like:
