Today as promised Japanese has officially launched! We’ve gotten several more textbooks and JLPT lists up since we first started Japanese, and we’ve been tweaking and improving it all around as well. There’s always more we’ll be doing to make it better and better, but having used it myself for months I believe it’s well and ready to go and start being charged for. We hope you’ll find it useful enough to justify our monthly fee!
The reading and definition practice help complete the Japanese learning process in particular, letting you practice words even if you don’t need to learn the kanji for them, which is very common in the first years of study. The reading and definition practices are fast and efficient, and promote active learning as well. So in addition to launching Japanese, we have taken reading and definition practice out of beta and alpha. New users now have both on by default, so they come in learning all aspects of their vocabulary.
Thanks also to all the beta testers for Japanese. We’ve been getting lots of good feedback and ideas on how to make it better. We have plenty of things on the docket to test out; unfortunately time is always the scarcest resource here. But we’ll get to them in time. Thanks for all your support!
Also, if you want to study both languages, there’s no extra cost for doing so. Just for you ambitious learn-all-Asian-languages folks out there.
Now go learn some kanji.
