If so, please check out 日本語の森 on YouTube: [https://www.youtube.com/@nihongonomori2013](https://www.youtube.com/@nihongonomori2013)
She posts vlogs and fun Japanese videos related to vocab, grammar, and every thing in between. It’s so comforting to finally be able to watch and understand someone speaking native Japanese, since she uses easy speech and explains things so clearly.
I highly recommend checking out her livestream videos, since they’re all posted on YouTube and easy to follow along without subtitles. Really makes learning fun.
This is one of her old vocab videos (with a full playlist of 20 more!): [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zERTDrQpoS0&list=PLINFE8v4DOhs0hkWCvRIoEW125EnBEFVj&index=2](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zERTDrQpoS0&list=PLINFE8v4DOhs0hkWCvRIoEW125EnBEFVj&index=2)
I’m sure most of you already know her but for those of you who don’t you are seriously missing out

日本語の森 is freaking great. I watched her N2 grammar video to study for my N2 exam, and I watched it at 1.25x speed as listening practice.
Great coincidence! I was just listening to her N5 lesson. I really like it. May I ask:
I am currently utilizing three types of books: 1) Japanese Grammer by Tae Kim, 2) Remembering the Kanji, Kanji from Zero, and this 1-6 grade Kanji book that’s all in Japanese (colorful children’s book), and the Genki book. Also watching Japanese dramas (especially older ones and asadoras), anime, games, and YouTube videos.
Can you please share what resources you have used and what practices you have utilized to get to where you are now? And roughly how long it took? Thank you! Also, congratulations for coming that far! I would be so happy if I can there within two years. I’m trying to commit to several hours of daily use and immersion
