As things get back into normal (at least for new content), I’m really excited to put out the first “new-style-new-lesson” ever. Season 4 is all about making the things you say and write longer and more “natural.” People don’t talk in small. short. sentence. bursts. So it’s pretty nice to spend a lot of time looking at things like this.
Thinking, of course, is probably one of the most important things you can do when it comes to speaking any language, even with Japanese, which tends to be a culture that doesn’t want you to think too much (or, at least, say things out loud that make you stick out too much). Still, if you don’t think, then nothing important ever happens, so I thought it was about time you learned how to express yourself a bit.

In other news, thanks for all the feedback on the new design. I think I’ve gotten most of the bugs worked out, but if not feel free to let me know in an e-mail so I can figure things out and get anything fixed. I even think some Internet Explorer problems have been taken care of, which is great, because I don’t have Internet Explorer, so that makes it a little harder to test nice and quickly.
Also, you can see some of the new style “little victories” style chapters showing up in Season 1 and Kanji 1. More chapters will be converted over the next few weeks along side the new stuff, so look forward to a lot of new coming up soon.
