If you ever Googled “How to learn X as a foreign language” you probably came across an article about how it’s all about *comprehensible input* in the target language where *comprehensible* means that you can understand around 80% of what’s being said. YouTube is the place for free resources but most channels are so small that they’re difficult to find so I would like to share what I managed to find so far.
Note: I look for content creators who will talk about literally anything as long as there are at least Japanese subtitles. Having said that, all the channels below are pleasant to follow (unless they talk about grammar only which you only check when you need extra explanation on something).
