Pros
- Learners who want a searchable free grammar index
- People who will do the self-study sheets before a lesson
- Students who want 1-on-1 speaking around the same materials
Cons
- Tae Kim already answers the explanation job
- You will not attend a booked lesson
- You only needed YouTube audio
Wasabi Japanese publishes a free online grammar reference and other self-study materials, then sells 1-on-1 lessons with tutors. The grammar index is built as both a reading path and a lookup sheet. The visit link on this page goes to wasabi-jpn.com.
The official YouTube channel is @Wasabi-jpn.
Who it fits
It fits people who will search one grammar point, or who will book a lesson around the same worksheets. The free index is enough to test the voice.
Limits
It is not Tae Kim. Running both as full paths is two explanation sources. A 1-on-1 plan is the same job as italki. Pick one speaking appointment.
