Learning materials
List of learning materials that I know of. Currently incomplete.
Be aware that this list is not very large as I only include materials that I had personally used before. This is just the tip of the iceberg!
Guides
- All Japanese All the Time: The guide I chose to follow. Has an extensive resources page.
- TheMoeWay: An alternative guide. Also contains a resources page.
Learning
Vocabulary
- Kaishi 1.5k: A basic Anki vocabulary deck. I use this deck to learn basic words and grammar.
Grammar
- Tae Kim’s Guide to Japanese, a guide for grammar: Very good book.
- Sakubi: A rather interesting “from scratch” grammar guide. I haven’t read this personally.
- Ixrec’s Guide to Japanese
Japanese content
Torrent trackers
- Nyaa: >90% of what you need is here.
- Mirrors: nyaa.land
- AvistaZ: A private tracker for J-dramas and TV shows.
- AnimeBytes: One of the most reputable tracker in the private tracker scene. Contains a large repository of Japanese animes, printed medias, music, and games that would not be found anywhere else. Unfortunately, it is notoriously hard to get into.
Streaming
- Animelon: A quick way to watch some animes with multiple subtitles.
YouTubers
- Onomappu
- Kaname Naito
- もしもしゆうすけ: Monologues and conversation videos. Speaks fast and uses more uncommon words.
- ixrec’s list of channels
VTubers
I’m sorry but I’m not that desperate yet.
Music artists
- ヨルシカ (Yorushika): I personally think her songs are easy to listen and understand.
Software
Dictionaries

- Jisho.org: A pretty famous online dictionary. Convenient for quick look-ups.
- Jiten: A local version of
Jisho.org
Grammar
