That would - especially for new kana - make it a lot easier to learn (for me at least) And maybe you can do something with brushstrokes for the kana like having them appear as they are written. great this will really help my vocab

The music in the background makes close listening impossible. Music is great, but in the right place! A good idea,

It would be much nicer if you could go through what was said in the lesson, but as a lengthy stream of super difficult language spoken at break neck speeds it may as well be in martian for all the use it does me!

一生懸命
いっしょうけんめい

whereas
一所懸命
いっしょけんめい

the video shows the second kanji with the first kanji’s reading which is not correct.

the format of the video is most excellent however!
thanks!

Thanks for keeping learning interesting for us! I have a couple suggestions for the video vocab. They could be a little too difficult to implement - I don't know much about the technichal side of things, but here goes: Lengthen the video by a minute or two, to have the kanji/vocab introduced via animated stroke order (such as a Canon elec. dictionary does in Kanjigen) for the whole word. (just the first time the word is shown). Also have a quick review at the end of the vid with the words pronounced in japanese & presented randomly, minus the hiragana reading of the kanji and the written english translation. I think these ideas could really add to our recognition and retention of the words. Thanks for your innovation jpod, Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to all.

One more thing, are you guys planning on eventually doing these for previous lessons? I know that would take a great deal of time, so I'm just wondering =) Oh!

I LOVE this idea!!! Is it free, or for basic or premium members? Something I would suggest is perhaps writing out the romaji as well? I know it can be hard for beginners, as I was once one, and still kind of am. Or perhaps making a video that teaches both kanas. That would be extremely helpful to all of those confused Nihongo newbies out there! I hope you at least consider it! Thanks a lot! I'll DEFINITELY be using these vids!!! 私 :kokoro: :nihon: (I know that wasn't the Japanese sentence order and is missing particles, but I think everyone gets the point :grin:) Hi!

I'm a premium member now! I couldn't pass up this deal. I love how the premium feed works with iTunes, all the pdf's are right there with the lesson. The Learning Center is awesome too. I like the Kanji Close-ups, I really wanna start getting in depth with kanji. Reading and writing it. I like how there are spaces where I can trace over the kanji before writing it completely by myself. I'm 27 now but my handwriting looks like a 5 year-olds. This will probably teach me to be more patient when writing in Japanese and also carry over into my English and Russian as well. Alright, ya got me! I’m a premium member now!
