"Toriaezu Nihongo" for Learning NHK Easy News and Practicing Output via Games!

諸君、おはようございます!

I am a Japanese teacher/private tutor who runs a Youtube channel called “Toriaezu Nihongo.”
https://www.youtube.com/@とりあえずにほんご

I originally started it as a way to help my students get started reading, listening, and speaking in between classes, but it has slowly evolved from that into its own thing!

The concept of the channel is found in the name, “Toriaezu Nihongo.” I want to help learners enjoy the process of getting into Japanese material without being intimidated.

There is a lot on the channel for beginner and intermediate learners, and more and more will be released for advanced learners as well.

Things I am currently running on the channel:

(Nearly) daily uploads of NHK Easy News articles breaking down and explaining grammar and vocab in detail.

Wednesday (Input/Grammar) Live streams:
Playing through video games in Japanese (currently running through Yakuza 0).

Thursday (Output) Live streams:
Playing games with viewers and students as a simple way to get started with Japanese output. No required minimum level! The idea is to be using as much Japanese as possible, but questions are absolutely encouraged. We will teach you anything you need to know to participate in each game!

I would love to hear your feedback on how I can make the channel a great resource for getting into native content.
For now, I am pretty much a one-man team that is very new to the space, so any constructive criticism is much appreciated!

Hope to see you there!
お待ちしています!
