I was watching Anime without subtitles the other day and wrote several japanese grammar words in my anki deck. However, even after spending nearly an hour rewieving, I could not remember them at the end of the session which frustrated me.
Luckily I remembered how I remembered certain grammar words: By rewatching random japanese videos or anime clips.
Do you guys know other clips containing grammar vocabulary, a similar thread or methods how to learn grammar vocabulary effectively? If you want to share some clips of shows, please announce priorly if it is a spoiler
One of our teachers likes to show us these videos, and I think they’re pretty interesting. You can learn some vocab, grammar, and general Japanese culture (for example there’s a video on karuta). There’s this recent video about Valentine’s Day: 紙兎ロペ「ハッピーバレンタイン」編 - YouTube (You could probably use the auto-subtitles if you need the Japanese text.)
I heard good things about https://www.youtube.com/c/NKTofficial , ‘Nakata Atsuhiko’s Youtube University’ (中田敦彦のYoutube大学’), but I haven’t really been able to watch it because it’s way beyond my level . It seems to be 20-30 min videos on nonfiction topics categorized by subject (economics, society, world history, medicine).
If you just want exposure to normal Japanese, try something you are interested in. I pick up words sometimes from the lyric videos of Japanese songs, and I know a lot of people watch Japanese vtubers to do the same.
I mean you’re on WaniKani, so you can use the same method for remembering grammar vocab - by making up some story using parts of the word that you’re trying to remember) So, for example どうやって will change into doughnut (どう), Yankees (や) and a hand (て) probably? And the story will go like this - you are watching a doughnut (どう) being eaten by a Yankee (や) and you are wondering HOW could he use his hand (て) like that to eat it???
