KemushiChan Your channel helped me a lot and keep helping me to boost my Japanese. My Instagram name also was aspired in your channel name. That’s creative But my is Washi. Thank you for your work and doing that translating work for us in this side of the world. 良し！👍
"Japanese Ammo with Misa" is certainly, in my humble opinion, the best channel to learn japanese. I went from 0% japanese knowledge to N4 learning A LOT with her. Misa has an absolute begginer series that she teaches really basic japanese sentences pattern. She's amazing and I'm here to defend her lol. ♥
I still recommend her, which is why I put her in this video! I never meant to shed her in a negative light; I just meant to emphasize that the people who may benefit more from her channel are people who need more thorough explanations, in contrast to people who have shorter attention spans and need quick explanations. I still love her channel and think she's amazing!
@@Shelbyrei You talk about how others have English/Japanese subtitles but neglected to mention how Misas subtitles are not only dual language but color-coded as well! The color-coding is more work on her part but it also means a much better learning experience.
@@MensoJero Sorry, you're right! It was hard to fit all of that information into one video and I was going through everything kind of quickly. Thanks for letting me know.
Definitely try to watch もしもしゆうすけ. The youtuber named Yusuke is filming diferent situation you may accounter when coming to Japan. He goes to supermarket, bookstore, rent a car, ets out... recording actual conversation with shop assistants, so you know which phrases are really used. The best this is that he has both english subtitles and japanese subtitles, which are only in hiragana, so even beginners can read them.
@Giamm Lieddack i mean nobody writes japanese in romaji, to genuinely converse. kanji is always important in japanese sentences & two kanjis can have the same pronunciation (which will be how they are spelled in romaji) but sound look different, so people know what it means. matt vs.japan (as he explains immersion & his own methods) is really good!
That Japanese man Yuta has been improving his comedy stat in a sustained and continuous way for the past weeks. I've been enjoying his channel more and more. Also learning, but it's a lot more memorable now. And I agree with Onomappu, he is top notch japanese youtuber👌
@Giamm Lieddack I was there with you at the beginning. His first videos are kind of weird. But that's mainly because he wasn't that comfortable with his english, I guess. His latest content is WAY better at teaching Japanese and giving advice.
This vidéo is actually exactly what i've been looking for, for a while now, so thank you very much for making it! (Actually relevant RU-vid recommendation!)
I just recently discovered Onamappu and what a find! He speaks naturally but enunciates clearly and so is very understandable. I like how he tells a funny stoty to illustrate a grammar point or phrase. He does a great job of explaining the nuance of similar expressions. Also he has a beautiful voice so he’s pleasant to listen to. He seems like a truly nice guy.
I would highly recommend Matt vs Japan. I learned a lot of great things from him, and his methods of learning languages is very practical and well thought out. He doesn't only talk about Japanese exclusively, he also talks about language learning in general, whether Japanese or not. He also talks about some of the niche parts of Japanese, and some of this information is hard to come by. Nonetheless, pretty great channel! EDIT: I found an amazing Japanese channel! The channel's name is ことラボ Think Vsauce, but in Japanese and is (for the most part) focused on the Japanese language!
@@Reforming_LL The "no bullshit, get it done" method. I recommend his website with his friend Yoga called refold.la where there are roadmaps of language learning that can suit your fancy. Hella great site.
For teaching 日本語 in English, I would say that Japanese from Zero is a good channel for beginners. He is following the book he wrote, but you can just listen/watch the videos and learn a lot.
I just learned that Japanese from Zero is Yes! Japan. Which was an amazing site. I kinda got busy with life but I don't know their content too well today but they were good stuff.
Onomappu and Japanese ammo with misa are my favorite channels that helped me make a lot of progress. For beginners I used misa's playlist and learnt grammar, and from onomappu you can learn a lot of onomatopoeia which is used daily, also he is really easy to understand and the content is always super interesting. Its also super helpful that there are subtitles. Basically the same thing you said in the video, thanks for all the recommendations ❤️❤️
I love Misa's channel. I know her videos are long, but I often spend at least an hour with one because I like to write everything down anyway. Also, I know it wasn't mentioned here, but I like Mrs Eats because I just find her hilarious.
Wow, this video is a gold mine of Japanese resources for all levels. Especially ones that include listening practice which is so hard to find! I like art channels of many forms but so many videos in Japanese are captioned and don't have voice overs or the person showing their face. But now with your video and the recommendations in the comments, wow, here are so many wonderful resources to learn with. Thank you!
Oof my heart broke when you mentioned Terrace House knowing that one of the members is no longer with us anymore (and there was a lot of manipulation behind the show too unfortunately leading up to Hana Kimura's death.)
I've been studying Japanese for several years, with a gap in between of several years for other studies, and I still can't hold conversations. This year I've been committed and studying at least 2 hours every day. I'm glad to have found your channel! We're on this journey together. :)
Onomappu currently has 103K subscribers. What the HELL happened within the past few months?? Also, thank you so so much for posting this! I'm studying for the N2 exam right now, and I am tired of constant listening comprehension mock exams. X.X
Started studying Japanese recently and was looking for good Japanese content and this video was so useful!! Love your channel and looking forward to more videos like this!
I’ve definitely went through Misa’s channel especially from advanced beginner onwards. It often relates to the grammar points that i learned in みんなの日本語 books 1 and 2. It’s cool that she gives a bit of time for you to practice and come up with the answer before saying the answers. As for Dogen, my wife, who is japanese, says that there are many learners who are fluent but when she listens to them, she can tell that it’s a japanese learner speaking however, if she listens to Dogen without seeing his face, she says he sounds exactly like a japanese person. Plus he’s extremely funny since it’s really relatable to japanese humour and culture/customs.
Oh My goodness, thank you...I haven''t check all of these channels out (I know several of them already), but 日本語 to 旅 〜Nihongo to Tabi〜 is amazing. He is REALLY clear, and takes the steps necessary for you to understand the next step, with Zero English. I am very impressed with this channel.
I would definitely suggest the "Learn Japanese From Zero" Channel. The RU-vidrs name is George and he wrote the book series Learn Japanese From Zero. The channel helps you progressively learn hiragana and katakana as well as kanji as the videos go on. He teaches proper grammar and grammatical structure, along with casual and formal Japanese
thank you! I'm a beginner and I'm already a few hours into Misa's beginners' videos, I already knew and watched many videos on Japanese pod 101 too, but you gave me so many other good suggestions. In particular, I needed some beginner level content for pure listening comprehension. I'm also going to definitely subscribe to Miku now. I hope to come back here in a year and actually write a full, meaningful comment in japanese 😄 ありがとうございます！
Yeah, when I learnt Japanese back in 1998 there wasnt a lot of resources back then and didnt get exposed to the real world talking and speed of Japanese today. It caught me out when I took my JLPT test as I got 239/400 which was a fail and it was the listening which got me. Suffice to say when I was in Japan in 2003 everyone could understand what I was saying but when they spoke back it was like trying to hit a tennis ball when 500 are flying at you. Thankfully we have videos like this and others that give their time to help others. Great video!
I follow Misa since years, since she had like 5 videos on her channel and I love her videos. She is the only youtuber I support through patreon because I felt like I don't want to consume all these videos for free anymore.
If there's a RU-vid channel I would wholeheartedly recommend when it comes to learning grammar, it would be Cure Dolly. While turning on the subtitles is mandatory (even though she speaks english, the fact that it's a modified voice can be problematic), the way she teaches grammar is simply perfect. She has the knack for making seemingly hard grammatical rules easy to understand and memorize. Her grammar series is a must see, imho
Thank you for this video! Taught by previous experience I'm trying with watching videos this time. I was learning English all through school - and maybe I could write, read, but I couldn't understand and speak in any conversations. Learning general, grammar things is okay, but you should be able to talk and understand people. I'm going to start with Japanese so I want to do the both things - learn grammar, written language and become familiar with that listened. :D RU-vid is a great option, but it's difficult to find some great channels in other language if in your suggestions/proposals are only these in your own language. XD (and now in English also) So thank you very much once again, it was a video that I really needed. :D
I think that the most important feature for a video is to have reliable Japanese subtitles. English subtitles are secondary and nowadays most of videos have better insta-translation to another language that real Japanese subtitles.
Hello Shelby. Thanks for sharing your favorite japanese channels, it's so useful. I've been looking for a video like that for a long time. I'm looking forward to watching your next videos!
Thank you for making such a great video! It's especially helpful that the channels are broken down into separate categories. I have so much more inspiration for learning Japanese now, and I look forward to following your journey too!
I don’t usually comment on youtube, but these recommendations are so helpful. I watch some but there’s so many that I’ve never seen. Thank you for all the work you put into this video.
Oh my god ! I learn english and Japanese and I love your video. You speak slowly and that so great because I understand you and that make ma happy. Secondly thank you so much for all this ressources :)
Thankyou for the video ive been looking for some more channels to help with immersion. Ive been watching もしもしゆうすけ and あかね的日本語教室 I would really recommend their videos for あかね的日本語教室 Ive found her vlogs very useful and as I learn more vocabulary I watch the videos and start to notice I can understand more and more words, she talks very clearly and the subtitles are nice to go along with it. With もしもしゆうすけ I think his file: series is very good he goes over things like going to the convenience store or a restaurant and will have maybe like 15 different recordings of these types of encounters in one video all subbed in Japanese. One thing id say to be careful with is when videos have english subtitles though because it becomes very easy to start looking at those and not take in the Japanese properly. i find its better to not look at the english subtitles even if you dont understand the Japanese as it is a distraction and i think it slows down how much Japanese you are actually taking in.
Thank you so much for this video, this is exactly what I was looking for! I also loved that you included different styles of videos and differend levels of learning. ありがとうございます！
Oh my gosh. First, I love this video. You give your opinions and recommendations without droning on and on. Second, I also love Onomappu and I discovered him recently from my recommended. And third, I am also 23. And had no idea Onomappu was either!! Ahhhhh going to subscribe to you now. Haha
Back to say I've been following Onomappu since I found this video, last year, and he's one of my favorite channels for learning Japanese, now! So, thank you for sharing this!
Thanks a lot for the recommendations! I mostly try to learn Japanese with Japanese videos, but I still need the japanese subtitles to not get too frustrated! I already knew some of the channels you mentioned, but found 3-4 new ones which is awesome! ありがとうございました🙏
Yeah, I really enjoy Ononmappu-san's videos too! He is just so cute and looks like a very 元気な人. Dogen's videos are nice too, but they are kind of gloomier, I like them when I am in the same mood. Thank you for the recommendations!
Yo this video is quite extensive, thank you for this! I wanted to find some Japanese channels but couldn’t since I had to train my YT recommendation algorithm first lol
Those are all great channels that focus on language learning methods, but in this video, I was more focusing on RU-vidrs who regularly speak in Japanese for listening comprehension practice. I watch your channel btw, thanks for commenting on my video!! 😊
Some great reccomendations! i have been studying japanese for over 4 years and thought i had scoured youtube for all the best japanese channels, but the algorithim was clearly hiding some gems. ありがとうね！
You could put KORONO there, he makes videos in japanese with english subtitles, and focusses more on the games he plays, and he does not teach any japanese, he just makes SOME videos in Japanese because his audience asks him
Some great recommendations, a few I knew about, but lots of new ones. I agree about Japanese Ammo, it's not just the length but the fact that she goes off on tangents from the main grammar point, that become tangents in themselves, I just lose the thread. My favourite RU-vidr is Tokini Andy, he's been teaching the Genki textbooks together with his wife Yuki, really good for beginners.
