Previous section: Beginner Tools & Resources Setup

On this page, you will find a variety of content to choose from to get you started immersing. The two main categories of content you will encounter are Native Content and Learner Content.

Learner Content

This type of content is targeted at learners of the language rather than native speakers. It will include content that is much more simplified, or Comprehensible Input content. This type of content will be the most optimal to learn from, but if it bores you, don’t force yourself to use it.

Youtube

Graded Readers

Podcasts

Native Content

This type of content is targeted at native speakers of the language, so difficulty for learners is not a consideration at all. There is native content that tends to be on the easier side and it will be listed here. Native content is perfectly fine to use as a beginner if you are bored by Learner content because we can use tools to make the content more comprehensible. If you are immersing with native content as a beginner, it’s important to remember not to get discouraged when you don’t understand something.

Anime

Live Action & Drama

Manga
