Please dump survival phrases and replace with a lower advanced course. Just my personal opinion but there are already sooooo many lower level lessons done. No more nihongo ga wakarimasu ka classes. the new irrashaimase lesson is something that has been covered numerous times in other lessons. I would be willing to pay for this service again if there were more product to buy. Video lessons of low level kanji are also not doing a whole lot either. I kanji lesson would be fine but how about kanji from upper levels. I think the issue is that Jpod is trying to continue to make free lower level lessons for those who arent really willing to pay. Just charge everyone and say give out 1 free newb lesson a week or something. Once in one of Peter's lessons he said he had the goal of getting us fluent. I currently don't see japanesepod heading towards that goal anymore. I have a lot of love for jpod. I used it when I was just a beginner and knew nothing and it helped me get a long way but then it stopped short. I paid for a premium membership for maybe over a year or so. I don't know what all the answers are but I feel something is amiss with the current lesson line up.
From a huge Jpod from Mieth. cheers
