I really like the way you repeat each word and sentence slowly, and then explain them. It's so helpful, but surprisingly rare to find. Keep up the awesome work!

As for your question, I think it all depends on your level and how much time you have. There are something like 170 Beginner Lessons. And the last ones are pretty much native level Japanese. Season 2 keeps practicing the basic grammar. If you study for a test like JLPT, maybe season 2 is around level 3. Personally, I think Beginner Season 2 has the most fun lessons - there's enough grammar for the stories to get kind of crazy and you'll get some slang and high level things mixed in from time to time. A lot of listeners listen to everything, especially if they're following the current lessons. Even if it's too difficult or too easy, you're bound to learn something. Also, be sure to interact with the community. They're a very valuable resource here!! Lot's of helpful and friendly people! :dogeza: Hope this helps, Marky Rainwalkerさん、

Only after I've completed all of the original Beginner lessons, or should they be mixed in with the originals? If the latter, when would be the appropriate time to listen to each lesson?
