This channel teaches vocabulary and grammar explanation of every chapter from the first book of Minna no Nihongo『みんなの日本語初級I』. Although the author of this channel, Rose, is not a native speaker… she lives and works in Japan and has pick up the language from self studying and from daily life.
All 25 lessons are divided in 2 parts: first vocabulary, then grammar explanation.
You don’t really need the book to follow these videos. I believe they are self-contained. As with most things, she gets better at presenting and explaining as the lessons progresses. Please give it a try. It’s a very good resource.
For those who like the series, she will continue with Book 2 next month.
I was mainly replying at your suggestion of being the only channel you need. I, of course, love Nihongo no Mori. No doubt about it. However, it’s good to have more sources. Japanese Ammo is another great source. Although, yes, you are right: it is aimed mostly for beginners so far. What’s best about her is how through she is at explaining the subject. Her は vs が video is a good example of this.
Yes but I think that’s a rambly-way-too-long video that doesn’t give any real new information that isn’t a thousand other places. Also, it is subpar to the answer in “Making Sense of Japanese”, which is a book. So the recommendation stays.
Oh, Syphus. You misunderstood my point. Plus, you didn’t even consider to see a substantial amount of the video before criticizing. However, carry on. The thread’s topic has been de-railed by this discussion.
Is that all you can say after what I stated? Do you need a source for learning reading comprehension, or you already have a definite source on that topic?
