Resources Japanese Conversation Class - US West Coast Time

0 Upvotes

I live on the West Coast of the United States and am looking for a Japanese conversation class in Japan that I can take via video conferencing. I've looked around online but couldn't find anything. It was mostly schools that came up. There's always iTalki, but I was looking for a class, not one-on-one.

Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

Discussion Artists and Music recommendations to listen and reinforce pronunciation?

0 Upvotes

Howdy folks,

I've been listening to Fujii Kaze a lot recently and I love the style of his music and its very easy to follow and understand him.

I had the same experience listening to .haku and Monkey Majik. More recently I'm listening to more R&B artists like Toshinobu Kubota. What are some 'smooth' clear vocal artists you'd recommend in the same vein as these 4?

I find I can memorize well while studying with music in the background, but not looking for stuff like ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION - Haruka Kanatahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJ6A6GC_ki4 although I love that type of music, for studying I need mellow options lol

Resources Does anyone have an Anki deck with more words beyond Shin Kanzen Master N1?

1 Upvotes

It doesn't neccessarily have to be harder, just words that aren't in the earlier Shin Kanzen Master N4-N1 deck. Currently preparing for N1 exam right now and do still come across quite a bit of unknown words.

Making my own Anki deck is a bit out of the way for me, so I would like to ask if anyone in the community has their own "expanded" deck.

Thank you very much.

Studying What existing tools do you use to consume Japanese media? Will a Japanese subtitle generator for downloaded videos be useful for you?

0 Upvotes

For example, people that watch Japanese livestreamers, but want to see subtitles to learn Japanese along with it could possibly download the livestream and then sub it?

Want to know if there's a usecase for such a tool. As I have done up something for my own purposes that batch generates Japanese srt files for Japanese videos in a folder

Edit: Ignoring rage-baiting comments.

Resources I absolutely love Kanji look and learn workbook, I'm having trouble finding a similar one. Any recommendations?

99 Upvotes

I love having to actually use kanji I learn with exercises, reading, writing. Sometimes there's "special" tasks for the specific set of kanji you just learned, like for directions there were maps and you had to write where things were. I feel like no other method comes quite close to this one, feels like I'm finally progressing and I even find it fun! I'm far from done but each time I think about finishing it I feel a bit sad/worried cause not many methods seem to work for me.

Is there a similar workbook? or some kind of resource?
