The Orientation courses (pre-newbie) could perhaps be linked to the “Survival Phrases”?

Estimados Amigos;
Con mis mejores deseos de siempre, es muy buena idea, clases de Ingles en Ingles, para los que hablan, Ingles es muy bueno porque de esta manera corrigen el idioma que hablan.
Siempre es bueno el tener algo en otra cultura para hablar el Idioma de esa cultura, por ejemplo yo aprendí Ingles porque tuve una amiga de Estados Unidos y estoy aprendiendo japonés con ustedes porque me gusta el idioma y la cultura del Japón.
Sinceramente,
Carlos Ruiz Checa

Tagalog (Philippines) language would be great.

I’ve been a JapanesePod101 member for almost 6 months now and am absolutely in love with it. Super excited about the All About series. Keep up the great work!!

Esperanto isn’t dead at all.

I agree there is no *need* to learn it, but there are good reasons to *want* to. Plus Innovative Solutions has already 2 teachers that know the language (the awesome guys from germanpod101).

Greetings,

My idea for Englishclass101 is to offer my Japanese wife with some new helpful ways of mastering English. Also, I could use its resources to hold a class of my own. I wonder if there is a syllabus or outline to complement Englishclass101…

Eigo no oshiekata wo narattara gakusei ni oshieruyouni arigatou gozaimasu.

Mayumi-san,

If you are trying to add value to the JPod site, you may want to put Hero’s blog from EnglishPod101.com over for JPod101 users. I find it just as valuable (and fun) as any other JPod101 lesson!

Thanks,

Steve from St. Louis (near Jessi-san’s U.S. home)

stlsamurai-san,

Thank you for the great comment!
Do you listen to Hero’s blog to learn Japanese? Good idea!

Joflowerさん,
Good question - EnglishPod101 is geared towards Japanese speakers, as nearly everything is explained in Japanese. At EnglishClass101 everything is taught in English so it is geared towards all English learners regardless of their native language. I suppose it depends on the your friend’s English level and how they want to learn. If they are at a beginning or intermediate level, EnglishPod101 might be a good place for them to start because they get explanations in Japanese. If they are at a high level and are comfortable listening to everything in English then EnglishClass101 might be a better choice I hope this helps!

Jessi-san,

Sorry, I thought someone had mentioned that they had lived in Kansas City. My mistake. Thanks and keep up the good work!
