Youtube. It can be watching channels made for learners or native videos. I'd recommend both. And you can try to read comments.
Tadoku (for reading). There are some free ones. When I used them for first time, I didn't think they would be simple enough to understand. But they were! There's audio for most of them (at least among those I read) so you can read out loud, read along with audio or try to understand it by listening.
Literally anything. I use renshuu dictionary, but when I don't know grammar, I search for it in google. (I add -ai at the end, so that it skips AI review). This way I can find many resources, each one right when I need it.
Iiiiinteresting. I didn’t really need another language learning app on my phone, but as someone who is a casual gamer and likes learning languages, this looks right up my alley! Lol I just now installed it.
Youtube is definitely one of the most useful resources for learning languages! There are tons of useful channels, but here are a few I find helpful:
Learn Japanese with Tanaka san - The videos are pretty short, generally around 5 minutes long. Most of the videos I've watched are centered around vocabulary and listening practice. There are also cute reoccurring characters
NihongoDekita with Sayaka - She has lots of longform vlog style videos on real life Japanese. The subtitles have furigana, as well as English closed captions. She also has a lot of shorts! I find the ones about grammar quite useful for revision, but her shorts cover other parts of the language as well.
Nihongo con Teppei - Now this one is technically a podcast, but it is available on Youtube! The episodes are generally around 6 minutes long and are entirely in Japanese. It will probably benefit you most after you've acquired a decent vocabulary and understand some basics.
I hope that was of some use to you! Also I know we're already all here, but I truly think that renshuu is best resource I've used for learning any language. So use it to it's full capacity!
"Jisho" website for dictionary, kanji lookup & breakdown (renshuu dictionary is already great though). Also find a browser extension for hovering over kanji/kana to auto-translate to English, I use "10-ten reader" for Firefox, but there's a lot more!
I like using Kanshudo for flashcards, they're more similar functionality to anki but better integration of definitions and yomi. You can also accumulate points to get paid features for free
i use Busuu, there are different skill levels, many languages and courses, plus you can be corrected by people having Japanese as a first language, plus you can correct non-english speakers.
Depending on your level you could try out "tandem". It's an app where you can find Japanese people that also want to learn a language. You can chat with them or go into group calls.
