By the way, a Newsgroups header with many newsgroups is sometimes used
by spammers, and some newsreader does not even show posts crossposted
to more than two or three newsgroups. "japan.lang.japanese" might
be intended for messages in Japanese, and a Subject about Common Lisp
might look even more like spam in Japanese newsgroups. So I just set
a Followup-To to a group of which I know that it has had at least
some traffic in recent years (one can ignore the "sci").

A snippet from a search engine:

|Netiquette - The Document Foundation Wiki
|18 May 2024 ... Avoid Crossposting. It is almost never
|appropriate to send the same ... Or, if you must, make sure
|you set the Followup-To ...

Well, my own level is far below N5 (absolute beginner); I only know
few tiny fragments of Japanese. So all study material I know is
actually far above my own level. But without further ado, here's the
best site I know; it's much too advanced for me, but it's very good.

If nothing has changed, it should contain loads of free
downloadable mp3s and a PDF with transcripts. The site should
be findable by "Japanese Audio Flashcard Lessons", and the
domain name contains "japaneseaudiolessons".

The audio starts with:

|This is Japanese audio flashcards, lesson one.
|"Please show the passport!" - use the "te" or "de" form of the verb!
|パスポートを見せてください。
|Pasupooto wo misete kudasai.

When starting an mp3, you get an English prompt and then should
responds with the Japanese translation which you then can also
hear. I like this, because I can listen to it when I am doing
something else but still have the capacity to listen. Also,
I prefer to learn a language by listening instead of reading.
