One of the Japanese YouTubers I found while looking for resources to help learn Japanese outside of DuoLingo was SoraTheTroll, specifically a bunch of meme videos of "what Americans coming to Japan think it's like vs how it actually is."

Quite a lot of "non Japanese person claims you must be super polite, and also super fluent in the language or you'll piss people off, when the reality is you can say 'konnichiwa' in the whitest way possible and the common response is going to be 'wow! Your Japanese is very good!'"
