//DISCLAIMER:
These lessons are based from the Minna No Nihongo (ๅˆ็ดš) Beginner textbooks. But even if you donโ€™t have the textbooks, you can still follow along the lessons by just watching the video.

I'm currently living in Japan and I use Japanese at work and daily life. Iโ€™m sharing what Iโ€™ve learned from my language school and through self-study. I'm not a native Japanese speaker nor am I a licensed Japanese language teacher. Iโ€™ve passed the JLPT N3 exam and am 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!

//AMAZON LINKS:
I cannot find the links for first edition, but I found the links for the latest edition of the textbooks which are pretty much the same as the first edition:
