I remember there was a YT video of a gaijin learning japanese with anki. The person posted the video himself and it was in the japanese news I think.

Could anyone be kind enough to give me a link, I don't remember enough keywords?

Sorry I can't help, but you've made me curious; What was it about this video that caused it to be shown on the news?

I'm not sure, but perhaps the fact that he learnt it by himself and there was shown how he wrote Kanji down, and everyone was surprised.

He never uploaded a YT version though? Only that Veoh one that doesn't work. For me anyways.

He said he did but it got deleted due to copyright from NHK
