Its Japanese-language teaching gives learners another way to examine grammar and usage once an English-only explanation is no longer the only workable option. ## Who it fits Learners ready for explanations mainly in Japanese. People looking closely at grammar and differences in usage. ## Limits to keep in mind The explanation language is part of the difficulty. A familiar grammar topic can be a good first choice because you can focus on how it is explained in Japanese. Select lessons for a question you have rather than treating the channel's entire upload history as a syllabus. ## A useful first session Choose a pattern you have already seen in a textbook or reader. Watch the explanation, write a short example of your own and compare its use with the lesson. If the explanation itself becomes the main obstacle, use a simpler reference before returning.
