Über diesen Titel

Nihongo To English blends language learning and stand-up humor as comedians Michelle MaliZaki and Michael Allen CPA (GoatVsFish) explore the quirks of Japanese and English—words that don’t translate, culture shocks, and why politeness can melt you faster than ice cream. Each episode moves freely between the two languages, revealing how funny and human bilingual life can be.

You’ll learn phrases, hear authentic conversation, and laugh about everything from Japanese idols and snacks to Ken-son humility and mistranslated signs.

Perfect for fans of Japanese culture, bilingual comedy, or learning Japanese the fun way.

  • Episode. 11: Learn Japanese Shopping Phrases + “How Much?” (Ikura) | Nihongo to English (No Show)
    Jan 12 2026

    Send us a text

    In Episode 11 of Nihongo to English (No Show), hosts Michelle MaliZaki and Michael Allen tumble into Japanese shopping phrases, beginner-friendly Genki vocabulary practice, and a chaotic-but-useful roleplay that goes from the store… to the restaurant… to “wait, why is Mary going to the bathroom?” 😄

    You’ll hear practice with essentials like kore / sore / dore, common shopping & everyday nouns (wallet, bag, shoes, notebook, pen), and the most important question of all: “How much?” (いくら / ikura). Plus: a mini rabbit-hole on asteroid vs meteorite vocabulary, and a hilarious riff on Japanese “firsts of the year” like kaizome (first shopping) and hatsuyume (first dream).

  • Episode 10: Hatsu Warai & Japanese New Year Confusion (Shōgatsu, Shinnenkai)
    Jan 2 2026

    Send us a text

    Welcome to 2026 — and our first 初笑い (hatsu warai), the first laugh of the New Year 🎍


    Nihongo to English hits Episode 10 with Japanese New Year traditions, language mix-ups, and joyful confusion.

    We talk oshōgatsu, bonenkai, and shinnenkai, New Year foods, long tamago jokes, karuta vs. hanafuda, and why the Japanese New Year lasts more than one day. Along the way, we confuse similar-sounding words, invent new ones, and laugh a lot.

    Then it’s classic Genki-style chaos:
    Japanese numbers, phone numbers, telling time, time zones, awkward role play, and the mystery of analog clocks — in two languages.

    Also in this episode:
    • Hatsu warai (first laugh of the year)
    • Bibimbap pronunciation debates
    • Japanese New Year resolutions
    • Tokyo vs. New York time
    • Snacks, food labels, and eating only after the podcast ends

    A bilingual Japanese–English comedy podcast that’s lightly educational, very conversational, and proudly unpolished.

    2026年最初の**初笑い(はつわらい)**エピソード!

    第10回の「Nihongo to English」では、お正月(お正月・忘年会・新年会)の話から始まり、日本語と英語が入り混じった会話、言い間違い、食べ物トーク、そして時間・数字・ロールプレイまで、ゆるく楽しく脱線します。

    勉強というより、笑いながら「なんとなく分かる」バイリンガル・ポッドキャストです。

  • Stripe Isn’t a Border (And Other Language Lies)
    Dec 22 2025

    Send us a text

    🎧 Episode 9 Description

    Is a stripe the same as a border?
    (No. Definitely no.)

    In Episode 9 of Nihongo to English, comedians Michelle MaliZaki and Michael Allen CPA tumble into classic Japanese–English confusion while debating stripes, borders, and why English sounds so confident even when it’s wrong. Along the way, they snack on zebra popcorn, wander into euphemisms, sake cups, gift-giving customs, and — eventually — make their way back to studying Japanese.

    This episode loosely follows Genki Book 1, Chapter 1, Pages 49-51, but as always, digressions are encouraged. Whether you’re learning Japanese, brushing up on English, or just here for the chaos, you’re in the right place.

    Episodes drop on the 2nd, 12th, and 22nd of every month.
    Listen, laugh, and accidentally learn something.
