Hi! I didn’t really know where to ask this but I thought maybe some people here would know.
I’m trying to learn Japanese by myself and I don’t have textbooks or anything yet at least but I was wondering if anyone knew of a youtube channel that posts short video lessons that focus on one conversation or grammar for the whole video? I have only been able to find ones that discuss multiple conversations or phrases in one long video which hasn’t felt very helpful to me. The short videos could easily fit into my daily schedules so they would probably be a good way for me to learn some Japanese at first before buying any books. It would be nice if you could let me know if a channel like this exists! 🙂
Thank you!

I like masa Sensei chanel
Japanese pod 101 and That Japanese Man Yuta were the two channels I always used when I was a beginner.
Tokini Andy is good but his videos are on the whole Genki Lessons so they can be quite long which isn’t what you’re looking for but you could take the grammar points once at a time. Still, I recommend Genki a lot because it’s not bad and it set me up well for beginning intermediate.
I agree with the others but also I like Japanese ammo with Misa and Miku real Japanese. I think that’s what they are called.
Sambon Juku has a basics playlist that is one subject at time. However, it’s only in Japanese although he does a good job of making it easy to understand.
Start with hiragana and katakana playlist first though if you don’t know those already. Then move on to the basics playlist.
[List of his playlists](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0ujXryUUwILURRKt9Eh7Nw/playlists)
Cure Dolly is very well built and covers a lot while making it simple.
onomappu is really good for immersion. his videos are in full japanese with subs and the way he speaks is so clear so you know.
Recommend [Andy’s Japanese Corner](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLe0joff2s59Gyw4Z1to8h3jBKzKPS2fB5). He’s a Iaido/Jodo sensei. Over 400 hours of lessons!
ToKini Andy, he discusses Genki lesson grammar points

i recommend zlibrary for free books in japanese try visual dictionaries, genki, mina no nihongo( heads up it is a book just in japanese so you need kanji knowledge) i recommend you read small stories it’s helpful
