Hi everybody!
I'm a huge fan of this language forum but haven't gotten the chance to post until now. I'm a 16 year old sophomore and I have passed all high school levels of Japanese, but the school district where I live will not pay for college level curricula until next year. Instead, I have been enrolled in a self-teaching study program to work in-depth on my own syllabus. Since I have previously studied Japanese I do have a good idea of resources to use, but I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for intermediate-advanced audio, book, video and web sources that are free for me to use this semester as I study. I'd like to take advantage of this opportunity and get as many ideas as possible to create a well rounded program for myself. Thank you so much! -Lydia 1 person has voted this message useful | |

How far did you get with high school class? How much
did you learn? I know you said you finished then but what did you finish them knowing? Did you get thru the textbooks? Can you keep usingg the same books if you didn't? 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I got high school credits through an intensive a summer camp, so no, I can't use textbooks. I passed year four and I covered most of the intermediate material given in the high school curriculum. Like I said, I already have some sources lined up so I am using some older books as review but I'm just looking for more suggestions.

There are (seemingly) plenty of Japanese films and series on youtube, although I'm not
sure how complete they are. Erin's Challenge may or may not be a challenge depending on your level. Although JPOD101 is a paid for resource you can sign up and get access to all their free lessons (at various levels) and new lessons are free for a week or so when they first appear. You will get daily emails so you may want to sign up with a throwaway email account. memrise is a useful web-based SRS system for vocabulary. The N5, N4, N3 and N2 courses build up (and repeat!) to give you ~6k words. Or you can use Anki instead. NHK have a 50-lesson online Japanese course. It may be too basic for you though. They also have NHK Easy News as well as the full blown thing at NHK News itself. York University in Canada have an a course with much of the materials online here. I remember watching the first few lectures, but I never kept it up so I don't know how far it goes. Nor can I comment on whether it would be of much use. The nearest thing I can think of to an online course that takes you through a bunch of things you need would be Tae Kim's Japanese grammar guide. 4 persons have voted this message useful | |

This one is not free but good for intermediate students:
