“YUYUの日本語Podcast” - Japanese Language Learning Podcast

“YUYUの日本語Podcast” is an intermediate/advanced level Japanese language podcast. Yusuke and Kaito have discussions with each other, about various topics, on this podcast.

Comprehensible Japanese (YouTube Channel)

Here is a great resource where you can learn Japanese with the comprehensible input method. Yuki speaks Japanese while using pictures and drawings to describe what she is talking about. She uses beginner Japanese to describe pictures with stories, or by drawing things while she is talking in Japanese. Yuki started the channel about 3 years ago, and has around 175 videos at this time. The frequency of new videos is about one per week. I think this is a great way to learn, and will help you with your listening skills while you learn some new words and concepts. Check out Yuki's " Comprehensible Japanese " channel. Below is a sample video of Yuki talking about how to make Japanese Curry rice. Below that is her most recent video, which she appears in, talking about how to make a smoothie. This video of Yuki describing the differences between two similar pictures was very helpful.

"Japanese From Zero!" - Language Learning Textbook

“Japanese From Zero!” is a series of language books written by George Trombley Jr. and Yukari Takenaka of “Yes Japan” corporation. The purpose of these books is, of course, to teach you Japanese. I really like this book for learning Japanese on my own, outside of structured lessons or having a teacher. I think it is much easier to understand this book, than other Japanese Language learning textbooks. What I mean is that it is easier than the textbooks that are more likely to be used in college courses. For me, they seem to be more difficult, as they don’t have as many explanations included in the lessons. Makes sense, when the point of a textbook is to have a teacher there to explain all of the little nuances that would take up too much space in a textbook. “Japanese From Zero!” includes many cultural explanations throughout the book for certain phrases, words, and situations. I have not seen the same thing in many other Japanese language books, like ones that would be used in schools....

Kanji Reading Practice #45 - Park Signs イノシシ注意

Another sign that you may see an any type of park, or public, place in Japan. You wouldn't normally see this in any park that is in a city though. This one is going to be near the woods and the mountains. Unless you are in a small city in the countryside that doesn't have a large population. Kanji Reading Practice #45 - Park Signs イノシシ注意 has kanji from WaniKani levels 41 and below. See down below the photo for the explanations of the kanji readings and meanings if you don't already know them. Hopefully you do already know them. This is for practice and an opportunity to see the kanji over and over again for memory. The Kanji: 願　　　　侵　　　　入　　　　午　　　　後　　　　時　　　　以　　　　降　　　　必　　　　扉 The Kanji Readings (this usage) and Meanings: 願 (ねが) – petition; request 侵 (シン) – invade; encroach; trespass 入 (ニュウ) – enter; insert 午 (ゴ) – noon 後 (ゴ) – behind; back; later 時 (ジ) – time; o’clock; hour 以 (イ) – from; by means of 降 (コウ) – descend; fall 必 (かなら) – certain; inevitable 扉 (とびら) – gate; front d...

Midnight Diner: Tokyo Stories (Netflix)

There is a really good Netflix series called " Midnight Diner: Tokyo Stories" . This series is actually a 'continuation' of the original "Midnight Diner" that was on Japanese television. The series centers around a diner in Tokyo that is open from midnight to 7 a.m. in the morning. The owner of the diner is the only person that works there, and there is only one dish and some alcohol on the menu. Even though the menu consists of only tonjiru, sake, shochu, and beer, he will make almost anything that a customer would like to eat. There are a few rules around this though, he has to have the ingredients on hand (or the customer has to provide them), and it can't be an overly complicated dish to make. There are a wide variety of customers that visit the diner providing for interesting stories. The diner is located in Shinjuku, and each episode centers around a main character and their favorite food. Each episode is also named for the favorite dish of the ma...
