A list of some Youtube channels that might help you

Japanese
#1

I’ve made a list of Youtube channels that maybe aren’t as popular as Japanese Ammo with Misa and Miku Sensei, but I think they might be helpful on your journey of learning Japanese. I posted this list yesterday on Wanikani forum and now I’m posting it here.

Sorry, I won’t be able to reply to any comment. I’m feeling so overwhelmed because of work and studies, I’m thinking of staying away from social media and forums for some time.

Thank you for the comprehensive list. Are you the same person who posted this on Reddit perchance?

He gets a bit of a bad rap sometimes but I have always liked Japanese From Zero and would recommend George and his videos if you want some motivation for learning. I often drop in when I feel down about Japanese because his enthusiasm and point of view always cheers me up. That’s coming from someone who has studied for over five years and passed various levels of JLPT etc. Enjoy!

Thanks!!

I can’t stand Japanese ammo voice for some reason :(. Her information is good but I just can’t listening her voice for more than 10 minute for some reason. I’m so sorry Misa.

Love the list, but … Where’s the Japanese Sesame Street Youtube channel? I use it daily to improve my listening. My vocab and grammar are good, but listening comprehension is were I struggle. They speak a bit slower in the video’s and they’re subtitled. It would highly recommend it. :slight_smile:

What is the one useful study/learning technique you use that you're pretty sure most learners don't use?

Great list, but I’m shocked ToKini Andy isn’t on here! I really enjoy his approach.

Thanks for sharing, this looks awesome! Have you been going through Genki with these lessons?

#13

I don’t have the book, but I’ve been following along with that playlist and it’s the first time a learning path really stuck for me. The example conversations he does as he introduces the concepts are brilliant, especially since you get a chance to try to figure out what they say before he shows the translation.

Awesome, thanks! This might be perfect for my wife since she wants to get the workbook.

Also, to add to the list, I’ve watched several of the videos on this playlist and they’re been really helpful. I like his approach.

When I have some downtime, I watch some food cooking. Specifically リュウジのバズレシピ. It’s fun and you get to look at delicious food. Videos are just short enough to get some understanding out of them, and well, learning to cook is a side benefit

I agree. His channel isn’t really my thing, but can’t deny his passion and enthusiasm.

#18

For beginners:
Cure Dolly

Advanced:
由来言語ラジオ

Japanese with Shun is a podcast I found on Spotify. It’s pretty good for beginners. The host uses mostly Genki 1 grammar and commonplace vocabulary. He’s also fluent in Japanese, and gives a Japanese → English wrap up of some key words every episode.

Edit: I’m a dummy. That’s already on the YouTube list. Well, I’ll leave this here for the description and alternative means of access.
