🎤 Oral Practice — Audio (rigid + conversational)

Each of the 7 themes spoken twice: a rigid slow/deliberate version for learning the structure, and a conversational natural-pace version with fillers (ええと, なんか, かな) for mimicking how you'd actually say it. Transcripts toggleable inline. Open oral audio page →

Listen with headphones on the commute. Rigid first to catch every particle, then conversational to match the rhythm.
