Mina-san,

Blogging at JapanesePod101.com has just reached a whole new level. And if saying so isn’t enough, we even gave our blog its own new website. That’s right, JapanesePod101.com Blogs has arrived. The new blog features a fresh, clutter-free design, an infrastructure that can support several independent blogs, and a completely new category structure.

We have a number of individual contributors who will be writing about various topics related to Japan and the Japanese language from their own unique vantage points. Max in Shanghai features Max, a student of Chinese and a JapanesePod101.com listener, discussing his Japanese learning adventures while living in China. Megumi’s Matters features the thoughts and musings of JapanesePod101.com voice actress Megumi, who was raised in Japan and spent a number of years attending a university in the U.S. before recently returning to Japan. The Samurai Theologian, known to many as Daniel Beck, is a long-time listener of JapanesePod101.com as well as a long-time resident of the western Tokyo area, and he shares his resultant expertise of sites around Tokyo as well as info about Japanese culture. Nathan’s Notebook, updated fickly by JapanesePod101.com team member Nathan, features blurbs about learning Japanese and attending a Japanese language school in Tokyo.

In addition to these, JapanesePod101.com Blogs also features the following categories: Community Contributions, General Announcements, Lesson Specific, Media Coverage, New Features, Scheduled Maintenance, and The Crew. We encourage everyone to visit our blog often and to participate by posting comments and feedback.

Yoroshiku onegai shimasu!
