YouTube videos recommended by teachers of Japanese ®

The following is the list of YouTube videos recommended by the Japanese language teachers who enrolled in the correspondence course "2009 How to Create Web Pages/Web Sites." One of the tasks that the course participants had to do was to embed a YouTube video onto a Web page that they were creating, and they were asked to embed the YouTube video they recommend to students of Japanese. The list is ”玉石混淆(ぎょくせきこんこう - a mixed bag of good ones and not so good ones)," so please use your commonsense when you show them to your students (marked with *).

The videos recommended by other teachers later are marked with **.

Your contribution to this list is most welcome. Please send the URLs of your recommended YouTube videos to Shunko Muroya.
