I seem to remember that a load of high school lectures were linked to by someone on this site, but I can't find them anywhere. I remeber it as a tokyo university thing, but I can't find it on the open course ware site (http://ocw.u-tokyo.ac.jp/). Does anyone know where I can find them? And/Or if I just imagined the whole thing? I'm particularly interested in sociolagy lectures because I'm studying that in English at the moment.

Thanks for any help

I think you mainly want the first link. Referring to it, I wrote in another post
"As Blahah wrote in the last post of that thread, you can find a lot of lectures through Itunes U too and I've been using it a bit. If you have trouble finding lectures with Itunes, you can start by going to the Itunes Store tab and doing a search for "東京大学” (I'm using Japanese settings in Itunes Store, dunno if it works with other settings)."

Lecture series for high school and younger students were also mentioned in these threads. (Not sure if they're already covered in Surreal's post.)

[edit: the links aren't limited to Toudai lectures as I had originally written]

http://www.nhk.or.jp/kokokoza/ Is one of the best resources I've found for that sort of thing.

Thanks guys, looks like some great sites.
