Japanese (NijiJP)

General learning resources

  This is similar to the DJT guide linked in the thread OP, but with updated information. Start here if you want a general guide to follow.

  Anki is a flashcard program available for both personal computers and mobile phones. It's by far the most popular resource for Japanese learning, with many options for pre-made decks and specialized add-ons specifically for Japanese. The linked guides explain how to setup Anki. Here a few beginners' decks you can choose from:

  AnkiConnect is an Anki add-on that enables the following two methods of studying vocabulary words:
• https://yomitan.wiki/
  This is a browser plugin dictionary, useful for learning new vocabulary in context. It has compatibility with Anki via AnkiConnect, so you can add new words to your own personal "mining" deck. For those familiar with Rikaichan/kun, this is an updated fork.

  MPVacious is a user-script for MPV which allows you to create Anki flashcards from MPV via AnkiConnect. The linked guide explains how to use it in the context of movies/TV shows, but you can also use the MPV Youtube-DL: https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp
  With the setting "--write-auto-sub" in your configuration file, it should work with VODs, albeit with the extreme limitations inherent to Youtube auto-subs. Alternatively, you can also use it to learn Japanese while you watch your oshi's favorite anime.
  For those unfamiliar with MPV, I recommend the following for a more user-friendly GUI: https://mpc-qt.github.io/
• https://github.com/arianneorpilla/jidoujisho
  This is an all-in-one mobile app that can similarly create Anki cards from Youtube videos, among other things. Rejoice, phoneposters.

  For those who prefer not to use Anki and its add-ons, this browser extension can be used to accomplish similar things: create flashcards from subtitles and study said flashcards. The It Just Werks(TM) solution.
• https://www.renshuu.org/
  For those who struggle with motivation to learn, this is the best gamified option I've found so far. Its core feature is basically just another form of flashcards and you are able to make your own decks, similar to Anki. It minigames like shiritori. It's available for both mobile and PC.

  Since the above resources were more vocabulary-focused, here is an excellent grammar guide conveniently in virtual Youtuber form to round things out.

Liver/stream recommendations

Starting with my own recommendations, I'll add more as anons suggest them.

• Suo Sango's script-reading streams

• Suo Sango's readalong streams

  Ngo's usual streams can be quite hard for language-learners because she speaks quickly and uses a lot of memes, but her script-reading and readalong streams are great for practicing reading and listening at the same time. Note that other livers sometimes do similar streams, which you can find by searching the keywords 台詞読み (script-reading) or 朗読 (readalong.) The stories for readalong streams can usually be found on Aozora Bunko https://www.aozora.gr.jp/
