Grammar resource question

Do you recommend a grammar resource for intermediate japanese. I do not like bunpro and i am not good with textbooks.

Do you know what kind of topics you’d like to study?

If you don’t like textbooks or bunpro I’d say maybe just read and listen to Japanese content and lookup specific grammar points when they arise. Maybe make your own flashcards from that if you want to review them later. In my experience you can usually find blogs and youtube videos discussing pretty much any structure in intermediate Japanese.

Even if you don’t like bunpro it can be a good idea to look at their entries since they usually reference external articles and videos discussing a specific topic.

I second this.
I’d also like to add that

while not a grammar resource, has quite a lot of notes on grammar too.

What kind of resource do you like? And what do you consider as intermediate?

Some people like YouTube explanations such as Cure Dolly. Not sure if TokiniAndy does intermediate stuff but that’s another popular one.

I’m quite a big fan of JapanesePod101 (there are coupons to get it at a decent price). Levels 3 and 4 would be what I consider to be intermediate.

I also use NativShark, it doesn’t let you skip around so you’ll be forced to review the easy stuff, but you can archive any cards that you don’t feel will add value. They do use a non-traditional order that focuses heavily on casual language so you never know if you might learn something even before you reach intermediate (which I would say is around phase 2-100). All the audio for cards and lessons uses voice actors, not TTS.

thank you very much. I didnot hear about NativShark before. I will try it. I like online websites or youtube videos. I mean that i am not a beginner and i do not need to start from N5 or N4 JLPT levels.

Yes i checked this one yesterday. thank you very much.
