i really like the Duolingo Japanese course! it's how I started learning Japanese and it's been a huge help. especially if you're an absolute beginner, it'll help to get you reading hiragana and learning how Japanese sentences are constructed. once I finished and moved on to textbooks, I didn't even need Genki and just went straight to Tobira. i definitely don't think it's the only resource you should use and it can get frustrating in the later levels, but it's free and there's tons of content there so I think it's worth checking out.

I just want to add if you want to get used to japanese persons speaking at native speed and to practice your typing (writing??) you can watch japanese livestreamers. Especially if you find smaller ones just make sure its okay with them that you can chat in not so perfect japanese and then you can strike up conversations with them.

Thanks for the list of resources! I didn't know about JLPT Sensei. I'll definitely make use of that one 👍 One tip for people watching Japanese KZitemrs or anime Netflix is to turn on Japanese subtitles if they're available. Sometimes it can be hard to pick up on a word if you just hear it, but seeing it in writing as well makes it a lot easier. This also makes it easier to look up new words, as you know what to look for.

From my experience with some videos here, the auto-generated subtitles on KZitem are a hit or a miss. Sometimes it works fine, but other times, the auto-generated subtitles would mis-transcribe what the people said in Japanese, or use the wrong kanji for words that sound the same.

@@mapl3mage That's true, but it's usually better than nothing. Netflix is usually fine though, if the original audio is in Japanese. If not, there might have been separate teams working on the dub and sub.

my advice is watching japanese variety shows. they're fun and have captions just as part of the show, so it's great for reading and listening practice without having to use english subtitles. (honestly if you're at n3 level... just stop using english subtitles. the more you power through with only japanese the easier it'll become)

@@user-bj6zf9yv7k sure! i liked oshareism a lot, it's like a short talk show, but i think it's been cancelled now so you'd have to look for in online. there's also shabekuri 007 which is one of the most popular variety shows so is good for cultural understanding. lots of variety shows tend to focus on food for some reason but if you like that try stuff like the tetsuwan dash, and generally other shows that air during the day tend to have a lot of food stuff in them. other popular ones i know of are ame talk, itteQ, sekaiichi uketai jugyou, hajimemashite! ichiban tooi shinseki-san, ariyoshi zemi, the toppa file, nino-san, zeroichi, gyouretsu no dekiru soudanjo, etc. morning news/talk shows like shuuichi are also pretty good because they're a bit more casual. i like news zero on ntv for proper news though. it can be a bit boring at first if you don't know the people in the shows so try familiarise yourself with japanese comedians, it helps if you like idols too since they often have variety shows with comedians featuring. some comedians like ariyoshi, matsuko deluxe, sanma, etc, have their own shows and whatnot so it's good to get to know them. (can't necessarily vouch for how funny they are... female comedians are usually funnier tbh). you may have heard people mock japanese tv and whilst i agree it gets pretty ridiculous at times, i really like a lot of aspects to it, and how it's all really intertwined. hope this was helpful!

I'm Japanese. I enjoy your video especially your visiting your favorite spots in Tokyo. Because since Covid situation I don't move around Tokyo area much, I was surprised how those places changed over the past few years! I came across your channel searching for good videos to show a Japanese life to a friend who is hoping to work in Japan. , I think, at this point, in 2023, you probably already know but, "GURURITO ぐるりと around "is a written language. for spoken language, we say "Gurutto" "ぐるっと". FYI, There is a ticket called "GURUTTO PASS" with which you can hop around Tokyo's museums and other facilities including round trip train fares. (*Gurutto Pass for 2023 will be on sale in April🌺. )Thanks!

Getting a proper start on learning Japanese this summer, so this was excellent timing! So helpful, thank you! I was wondering though if you have any advice for learning to read hiragana and katakana? I'm struggling a little bit with them. I've been writing them out because it helps me differentiate the subtle changes, but it's still kind of hard and I'm not picking it up very fast.
@AllisoninTokyo

I picked up hiragana in a week, katakana two years 😂 But writing it out is great! I’d recommend just plugging the hiragana into anki or some flashcard software and go over them for a week, then jump into learning the grammar and stuff. You’ll get used to it the more you’re exposed to it and read it. Do the same with katakana after hiragana but I made katakana writing mistakes for a looong time because my brain hates it 😂 Writing is definitely important to remember for both but I wouldn’t aim for 100% perfection before starting the other studies, it will come naturally 🤲

Busuu worked great for me for learning both! They start with hiragana and the stroke orders so I would just write down every single letter repeatedly. Then they slowly start to introduce words and they have good examples to remember them. After that they introduced Katakana and it's definitely easier when you're already familiar with Hiragana since some of the letters are pretty similar. Now I can read both and I'm working on studying Kanji and grammar but to stay familiar with the letters I write small texts or use this kana-quiz.tofugu.com/

Hey, I would like to say thank you for putting up this video but I'd like to leave some feedback. I've never tried to formally learn a second language although throughout my life experience I've picked up a few different dialects of arabic, some Russian, Mandarin, Korean, and Spanish when I lived in Arizona. Only just enough to get by in those regions but more than I guess the average joe would know. What I'm getting at is I felt very confused by some of the jargon like kanji. I'm going to follow your advice and try one of the websites and hope it has a Kahn Academy style of learning. Maybe this video wasn't meant for someone absolutely attempting to learn a new language from scratch but I wanted to give some feedback to help. I'm going to re-watch the video and see if maybe I didn't hear something initially but first time through I feel a little confused. However, despite the confusion this video is the first I've seen that actually shows a resource for learning Japanese! Seriously, one video complained about other videos giving useless advice and nearly ten minutes in says to learn a new language you need to find a resource for learning a new language. Seemed super redundant to me so thank you for being clear about what resources to use. I learn languages faster (or at least the bare bones of it) when I have to accurately communicate with native speakers. Like when I was in Afghanistan I had an interpreter but asked him to teach me common phrases of my job so I could communicate without his help. Is there a resource out there were Japanese speaking folks are interested in communicating with English speaking folks? If anyone knows I would be grateful! Thank you again for putting this video up despite my confusion it has been very helpful and I hope my criticism was constructive. Again it could entirely be my error.

I would recommend kids manga if you're a super beginner!! Like Doraemon or something, depends on what you're able to get your hands on 😅 I read Yotsuba around N4! Really any kids book (meant for kids 2nd grade and under) is all that will be possible until you get to almost N3 level due to the kanji! Honestly, I would just go to Amazon Japan (they have an English interface) and go to the books and sort by age and go down the best sellers list until you see something interesting to you!
@mapl3mage

for an absolute beginner, Yotsubato. It uses easy grammar and vocabulary. You might have to look up a word or two, but you should be able to enjoy it without much trouble. I wouldn't recommend novels until you have quite a few vocabulary and grammar under your belt - at least somewhere around N3. The difficulty is not the kanji, but the sheer amount of new vocabulary and grammar used.
