Can someone suggest comprehensive Japanese yt videos?It doesn't have to be fully comprehensible.
What type of content are you into and what level of Japanese are you looking for? When you say "doesn't have to be fully comprehensible", do you mean like 50%, 75%, 90%?
Recently Im watching a Japanese person talk about their daily life and about different topics. Im a beginner N5 level maybe. Im okay with content that's 20%-50% understandable.
I started a long time ago but had to drop due to few reasons.I starting over again .I do understand beginner level sentences
I've seen people recommend "Comprehensible Japanese", around N5-N4. Looks alright and has subtitles/CC
"しのせんせい" has a lot of stories you can listen to (and read along)
If you don't mind animation (kind shows) 「はなかっぱ」公式チャンネル is pretty good. I like it more than beginner podcasts and random topics.
しましまとらのしまじろう is another kids show that's pretty good. The older stuff, we don't talk about the modern 3D show...
Hmm... N5 is quite limiting. Don't get me wrong, there's lots of content, but most of it is very dry and boring (at least to me). That's why I'd rather recommend Japanese kids shows (aimed at natives).
I'll look around some more. I could probably find some JP vlogs at around N4, if that's more your speed. Maybe travel vlogs?
I remember getting recommended this one:
No idea what level it would be though. Do you prefer stuff like this?
Probably N3+ though
Edit: If you look up 山口勝平 絵本よみきかせ (YouTube) you get some picture book read-alouds by Yamaguchi Kappei (voice actor).
I searched up all of this and realised its not interesting if its anime.I want an actual person talking like the video you shared but its too difficult
. I still might watch it though.
Currently these are the type of videos im watching.
I do watch N4 level videos too...
sorry for the trouble
Got it. A lot of what I suggested was a bit biased towards my own preferences. Now that I have a better idea of what you're looking for I'll see if I can find you something.
For the record I'm around low N2, so it's a bit hard for me to judge what is and isn't N5-N4. I typically just watch whatever native content I feel like.
The channel you linked is quite nice actually, I'll look for similar stuff.
Alright, I got a few things you might like.
This is from 日本語の森. They have a series (playlist) where they kinda break down popular songs. I'd say N4-N3 (probably ). You also check out their other content.
This is a video from a playlist (street interviews). Subtitles are nice (no furigana though). I'd say N4+? English translation should make up for it though.
This channel looks pretty good. Has furigana, English and the guy speaks slowly and clearly. Labelled as N5-N4. Edit: I watched the whole thing, it was quite good. Doesn't have English throughout the whole thing (subs), but I think it's probably the best for you out of these.
I like all of this and its easier to understand too
.Thank you for going out of your way to find these
. It was rather difficult for me to find Japanese content so this was really helpful.
You're welcome! And don't worry about, I found some things for myself too.
Maybe this could interest you? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8UbgEgoOLI (44 Minutes Simple Japanese Listening - Japanese Food Culture (ENG SUB) #1)
The series has currently 63 videos each around 45-60min, and covers different topics of japanese culture, every day life, general world topics. Some of them even have vocab lists in the Community Lists here, if you want to learn new words ahead. Seems to be N4 when I copied it into the text analyzer.
All videos have a really structured text read out loud where you can read along. This text is read once in slow japanese and the text has furigana, then it is repeated a bit faster and without furigana. So on the second go, you can catch details that you missed the first time.
I like to listen to it like a podcast. I also like how some everyday topics are explained in detail that you already know but now hear in japanese, like paying in a supermarket, you know the process of shopping and can guess what you will hear next.
Thanks トンヤ . The video you suggested is really nice for reading and listening .Its really helpul
You're welcome
I got recommended this channel. Leaving it here for anyone who might be interested. They do slip in some higher level vocab (probably difficult to improv at exactly N5)
I watch "さきちゃん vlog " on youtube. She speaks slowly, makes simple sentences and there is subtiles. It's great for beginners
