Frequently asked questions
How do I study with these videos?
Watch a line, read it, then press Replay until you can hear every word. Turn on Pause each line to stop after every sentence, and click any word you do not know for its meaning and a link to its page. Watch once more at the end with English off.
What level are the videos?
Each video is placed at the JLPT level it suits best, from N5 to N1. The level is a starting point: a video one level above yours is fine with the English on.
Where do the captions come from?
The Japanese captions are written by each channel. English is the channel's own where it made one, and a machine translation where it did not, labelled on the video's page.
