They give me tips on kanji and how to use them. I find alot of teachers don't bother to explain the history of the japanese characters and phrases, just for the fact that it take time to go over it. But with Japanese Pod 101, they give you insite as to how the kanji was formed, which gives you a better understanding of the language as a whole. You can relate with what is being said and writen based on what you already know about the language, I like that. It gives the languge a life of it's own! Thank you so much!

Watching this one made me look up the kanji for "say" because you write it differently to the way it shows on my computer and elsewhere (like the PDF). I also went back to lesson #20 for reference. It might be beyond the scope of the lessons (maybe not the notes), but picking up the subtle differences appears important. Is it incorrect to write "say" as four horizontal lines plus the mouth box, or better to follow you example? Patrick Hiroko-san,

But when I clicked on video, it brought me to the "Buy a package" page :neutral: What gives? Not that I'm angry with the site or anything... I just would like to know why I can't access it. I think this site is a very useful tool for learning the Japanese language, and I would like to see more people join the experience:wink:. Although I would like to know why it proposes to being free on the main sign-up page. Do I have to start a "7-Day Free" trial? I hope this helps anybody else out there with the same questions as me. :smile: -Scott Coughlan I kind of agree with LG (I didn’t mean for that to rhyme) :???: I signed up for this thinking it was going to be free… But when I clicked on video, it brought me to the “Buy a package” page :neutral: What gives?
