general resources:

• tatsumoto

huge website providing resources of all kinds. hosted on neocities!

• mizuki medio

kemono-dog maid vtuber, who teaches japanese! (i'm a vtuber autistic, so of course i had to mention her..) highly reccomended, considering she has a degree in language education and graduated summa cum laude. she also has an audiobook playlist on her youtube channel!

apps/websites:

• duolingo

  grammar and vocabulary is a bit inaccurate, but it's good for hirigana and katakana practice. i also like the streak feature.

• renshuu

  my current go-to app for learning grammar. similar to duolingo in the sense of game-based learning. they also have a discord and community-based events/activities.

listening resources:

(this is based on my interests, so i encourage you to find some you like as well!)

japanese vtubers i like:

• kotoka torahime (EN/JP)
• kuzuha (JP)
• meloco kyoran (EN/JP)
• sengoku yuno (JP)
• vivi kikirara (JP)

general vtubers i like:

• inemuifj (EN/JP)
• tamakun_36 (JP)

• music and tv/movies/anime are also a good way to listen, but the lists for those are endless.

misc. resources:

• your first 625

a resource by fluent forever, in which they provide the first 625 words you should learn for basic conversation navigating.
