Hood Japanese – Japanese grammar explained by 90's gangsters
I found the following 5 things have really helped me to improve my Japanese, so I built a website around them.
Each page features:
- Super casual versions of complex grammar explanations, think Thug Notes from YouTube, but for Japanese grammar.
- Concepts explained with very visual metaphors
- Content that is actually interesting (well to me anyway). I like Yakuza movies, especially 90s ones, so I’ve included that as the theme of every lesson.
- Clean and easy-to-understand conjugation guide
- Heaps of example sentences so I could see the pattern in action and figure it out myself.
Where to begin?
