If only Japanesepod101 really means it. The title of this thread is the title of the last email I’ve received from them so far. Of course, that email is packed with ‘super last time offer special deal secret to japanese mastery’ bollocks as well…

Does anyone have a positive learning experience from these guys? I’ve found I can’t stomach the packaging… it seems like trying to learn japanese from an infomercial, that will also slim your beer gut by watching TV 20 minutes a day.

ofcourse if you dont like it, then you dont like it.

I’m not a fan of their business model though. Like since you’re up to the “I give up” email, I’m sure you’ve recieved at least 10 emails from them by now. That and every time you go to their page its like a viagra or weight loss miracle page. Its all just really abrasive.

You can stay free and you get podcasts for I think its 2 weeks until you can’t access them anymore, which is pretty good. However they will still consistently pander to you on a free account. Like videos coming up a lot, being like IT’D BE GREAT IF YOU’D UPGRADE.

Then again, thats partially a reason to just bloody pay them, the product is good. Why not go listen to some of the podcasts they have up? Take a look around the website.

I knew they had something there worth a crap, but they’ve annoyed me so much I’ve avoided the site =)

I’ll check out some of their stuff soon.
