From the discussion

A few top-level comments from Hacker News, shortened. Read the full thread on Hacker News.

My cousin speaks fluent Japanese. He had another western acquaintance living in Japan that was a stay-at-home dad who spent his days with Japanese mothers. It seems that women speak differently enough from men where the guy was learning female speaking (accent? Structure? I have no idea) and so my cousin had to talk…

This is great! I hope you add some N1 level stuff. Even native level Youtube videos often stick with certain simple grammatical patterns (obviously since most of N1 is literary). Just having a curated list of more complex conversations on Youtube by itself is worthwhile to people like me.

Is pitch accent included / noted? That can make a big difference.
