MIT OpenCourseWare Japanese course outlines

I’ve been aware of OCW for a while now, but only recently realized they had Japanese course materials (not many videos, mostly just outlines and some simple exercises).

They follow the traditional Genki I > Genki II > Tobira path, though their Tobira coverage is just Kanji afaik.

It’s nothing mindblowing, really for the most part the courses are just “read the chapter, now do all the practice and workbook pages over the next week or two, repeat”.

Still, I find it kind of useful (if you already have the book) to start from their schedules. It gives a jumping off point for planning out my own self-study.

Combining the textbook/workbook, along with MIT’s schedules and exercises, and ToKiniAndy videos to take the place of lectures, feels pretty similar to a class (though obv not quite the same).
