1. Hey Yuki Sensei, I just want to ask you divide or organize your videos to (Complete Beginner – Beginner – Intermediate – Advanced) Based on what? I know it is based on level but is it on Grammar? Slow or Fast paced speech? Choice of words?

   And if you can tell me like the Advanced Level is close to which level of the JLPT? N3?

   1. Hi Kaitoさん,
      Thank you for your question.
      I think studying for JLPT and acquiring Japanese through CI are two different things. So it’s hard to say which level on our site is compatible with which level in JLPT.
      In exams like JLPT, the vocabulary becomes more difficult and infrequently used ones and the grammar becomes more complex as the level gets higher. But our way of teaching doesn’t exactly work that way in my opinion.
      Even if it’s considered to be a more advanced level vocabulary or grammar in the JLPT scale, it can be used in a Complete Beginner /Beginner video as long as it’s made comprehensible.
      I would say our video level division is based on how much aid we give you to help you understand the content, rather than the difficulty of the words or grammar itself. By aid I mean, like, slower speech, gestures, drawings, images, rephrasing and so on. The more advanced the video level is, the less aid you will get from us.
      Sorry it might not be answering your question exactly, but this is how I see the level devision on this site.

      1. Yeah I understand now, and that is my goal from learning Japanese since the beginning I only wanted to learn through Comprehensible Input, and I remember when I used to watch your complete beginner videos and not understand everything, and now I watch the advanced level videos and only miss 4-5 words per vid, however I just decided to enroll to the JLPT this December as a challenge that’s why I was asking 🙂

         1. That’s amazing that you’re learning Japanese only through CI from scratch and now are able to understand Advanced level videos!!👏 I’m so happy to hear that!
            I just took a look at JLPT website and found that they have sample questions of each level. This might help you figure out which level you should take😊👉 https://www.jlpt.jp/e/samples/forlearners.html

2. こんにちは 有紀先生
   動画のアップロードについて提案したいことがあり、お聞きします。
   様々な飲食店にあるメニュー表を見ながら、どのように読むのか、どんな料理なのかを説明する動画を作っていただけませんか？
   日本のレストランに行くたびにメニューが難しくて挫折することが多いので、とても参考になると思います！ありがとうございます。
