Hi
Thanks.
Yes I will do that. I get the release emails you send and give things a quick look but I sometimes forget to actually go online and use the resource’s.

I wonder, have you ever thought of doing a “how to use these things” item? The reason I ask is because I’ve spent many an hour just trying to work out the best way to study/learn from various resources. In fact there are so many out there that I go round in circles spending hours trying to workout the best tools and ways to use them. I think that You provide and focus on written material, however I’m aware of the various videos you produce and I do try to watch them. But as I say even just with your resources there’s so much that it’s hard to know where to start.
For example. I’ve been subscribing to Makoto Magazine for years but I’ve not even read a third of them, let alone other publications you have released. This is because I’m learning on Duolingo, i have the from zero books, I follow endless youtube streams and have now joined HelloTalk. I’m inundated with so much but I never really worked out a plan to learn so I’ve never really learned very much ( 5 years and I can’t even hold a 3 years old conversation)

I think that What I, and many new learners need is a logical plan that fits with our personal learning style, not just a set course but guidance on how to use the resources to match our learning style. It would save months of aimless searching and trying of endless apps, books, chat rooms. Etc.

You create pretty much all of the needed resources apart from a live chat room. I know that in hindsight some guidance on how to use your resources to the best effect would probably have me actually proficient in Japanese reading, writing and speaking.

Please don’t take this as a criticism, it’s not, it’s me looking back over years of trying hopelessly to become proficient in Japanese and still at baby speak level.

Of course you may have already provided this and I’ve missed it 🙂
