Interesting sites to study Japanese

I always have students that ask me for different resources on how to study more Japanese. I love the following websites. Also, I recommend everyone to watch Japanese dramas everyday for 15 minutes. It does help to improve your listening skills and vocab review.

Grammar, listening and conversation

https://www.erin.ne.jp/en/

My favorite Japanese drama. You will be able to practice listening and also learn more about the Japanese culture and customs.

Fun Japanese TV shows to watch

Japanese people believe that watching funny TV shows together as a family on New Years will help them to start the new year happier and positively. The shows below are very funny and I hope you liked them. Note: there are some very weird, so if you don't like it, just skit it.
