I’ve been a subscriber for a while and have a few different topic request/video ideas:

**(1)** I’m really loving the origami class videos Seika先生, and would love more “follow along” type videos, where we have a chance to do an activity, but in understandable Japanese. I’d LOVE to do some exercises. Not a video where the different exercises are being explained, but like we actually do the exercises together with the time built in everything: taiso, stretches, yoga, gentle cardio, whatever. Like a routine video that I can watch to do a daily exercise, maybe.

**(2)** Chieko先生 recently made a hilarious video that included a weather report (so creative, as always). It got me thinking that having some news & weather report videos would be really cool too. I read NHK easy news already, but most don’t have videos and they’re way too advanced. Some prep for watching the news would be awesome.

**(3)** More topics (at earlier levels) relating to work/business environments would be really helpful, to learn vocab relating to meetings, preparing documents, etc.

**(4)** I know this isn’t a JLPT prep site. Even so, I think the way they test us in the listening section could actually make for some videos and would be a win-win for everyone. And I know there are listening section prep videos on youtube so I don’t necessarily mean exact copies of exam questions.

For example, some of the JLPT questions involve looking at a map, and then listening to verbal directions, and choosing the correct building from the map. Even though I’ve passed N5 & N4, I still struggle with those a lot. So, maybe, videos where we have a picture map and need to follow directions would be fun and helpful, I think, for anyone who is trying to learn directions too – not just JLPT takers.

There is also room to make funny, creative videos. I don’t know if you’ve ever listened to the type of questions they ask, but they’re pretty ridiculous sometimes – strange plot twists and turns, and trick questions.

Hopefully these are of interest to others. **Thank you all for everything you do.** I love this site!

_p.s. I’m currently studying for N3 and am around level 40-50 max for video difficulty. Apologies if there may be videos at higher levels that I’m just not ready for._
