Notes

  • Considered adding 物書堂 Monokakido Dictionaries but was unsure of proper categorisation.
  • Unsure about adding more channels to the Textbooks and grammar > YouTube section. Cure Dolly and Japanese Ammo with Misa are easily the most recommended channels, so I thought many people would be looking for them and it was important they were included somewhere in the nebulous Textbooks and grammar section.
