Season 3 Is Starting To Roll [Updates]

Season 3 is finally starting to roll (after coming back and getting caught up on all the naggy little things). I just posted up the second lesson of Season 3 (which probably means there are a decent number of bounty opportunities available), and the third lesson is being worked on as we speak (as well as the next kanji chapter, which for some reason seem to take ridiculous amounts of time to finish). I’m also pretty excited for this most recent chapter as it’s the first one that integrates homework that involves using Lang-8. Utilizing the social tools available on the web, I think, is going to be one of the really neat things that sets TextFugu apart. Sure, you could go ahead and use Lang-8 on your own, and that’s wonderful, but using it in concert with TextFugu? Now that’s a beautiful (and educational) combination.

Anyways, I’m also putting together a customer survey so I can learn more about the things you find most important (so I can make sure my time is spent wisely for you), so please fill it out when you get it!

lang-8, season 3, updates

Looks like exciting stuff, Koichi. I've already filled out the survey. I can't wait to see where you go with TextFugu. I'm looking forward to the Lang-8 lesson when I get there. I signed up for Lang-8 a while ago and I sometimes go and edit other people's posts, but it's kind of hard to just start writing a journal when you don't feel confident in the language at all (at least for me). Keep up the great work.

*yaaaay* new lessons :D

@ouro: i can understand very good the problem with lang-8. i logged in there some time ago, but after few weeks, i stopped to go there, because its hard, like you said, to write there something with that few japanese skills. clear, the first sentences are like: “hi, my name is monika, i am from germany and 24 yeahrs old. my hobbys are… … ” but after that… brrr…. i don't know what to write, or how to write thats in my mind.
this was although some time ago, and i will give it a new try this weekend. but for beginners… hm… its just hard.

make you can give some useful example sentences? something like:

i am …. and i live in …. but was born in … .
my japanese sucks at the moment, but i am learning since … … and i hope it will be better soon XD

hm…. okay, its possible to write this in english there, and wait for a translation from the lang-8 people… somehow.

a also filled out your survey. although i am not the person for that “pic up only one point” questions. sorry ^^ ( i know, its best for you, because you probably need clear answers)
and its nice to see, that you really worry about us and that you constantly trying to make everything better!
