Learning JLPT grammar through music

[jlptsongbook]

I’m not sure but it seems like someone’s been at the mushrooms... へーんな感じがしませんか? 君が見ている このテレビ 妖怪っぽくはないですか? 気をつけな気をつけな 妖怪にゃあ テレビに似たのもいるんだよ ブラウン管から ニョロッと手が出て おいで おいでするかもしれないよ 妖怪っぽいー 妖怪っぽいーあちらもこちらも 妖怪っぽい This verse from ‘妖怪にご用心’ uses the JLPT N3 grammar っぽい which means ‘ish’ or ‘like’ (e.g. 子供っぽい= childish).

Lyrics This song has repeated use of させる (passive tense) in the first verse

lyrics here  This song is really great in that it has the grammar for くれる repeated 24 TIMES! Learn this and you’ll never get the particles for くれる wrong again.

I made a side blog and am looking for participants to help make contributions. @jlptstudygroup has been helpful and has gathered enough followers for me to think it’s worth trying again. This time, taking inspiration from this defunct blog, I plan to make posts of videos, link to lyrics and tag with the grammar points that come up and JLPT level. The goal is to make drilling grammar easier.

I’m looking for mods, so if you’d like to contribute please get in touch! 

You don’t need to write complex grammar explanations, just find videos, link the lyrics, tag the grammar points and the JLPT level of those grammar points. With time hopefully we can build a kind of musical grammar database.

I’m also looking for submissions, so if you’d like to post something, please submit here!

This song has a lot of N3 JLPT grammar points in it (じゃなきゃダメ、じゃん、みたい、わけだ、ところで、しかいない、〜ちゃう、過ぎる、どんなに〜） Lyrics here
