***DISCLAIMER***

These lessons are based from the Minna No Nihongo Textbook, first edition.
I am not a certified Japanese language teacher. I only took the JLPT N3 exam so I’m not yet 100% fluent in Japanese. I’m only sharing what I’ve learned from my language school and through self-study.. I chose the Minna No Nihongo textbook because I’m familiar with this material. So consider this more of a study with me kinda style. I’m also planning to take the JLPT N2 test in the future. So if you find any mistakes, feel free to let know so that we can all learn together. Thank you!

[kalpanataluri]

I missed you too Sensei. I used to watch your videos regularly when I had to appear for N5 exams. It gave me a lot of confidence. I was looking desperately for N4 videos from you to refer for my N4 exam. Now that you are back will plan to take up N4. Thank you so much for the youtube lessons that you are conducting.

Rose sensei, welcome back. I missed your lessons. Glad to see you again! Thank you so much for the uploads. Lessons 1 to 25 helped me to clear my JLPT N5. Thank you again!!

[Bayar-oerj]

I passed the July 2022 N5 test with the help of your videos! Your videos are very easy to understand as you provide the grammars first, then examples and the summary. Now I'm preparing for the N4 test with the Minna No Nihongo book and your videos! :)

[blueguern]
