Kanji: I could spend a $$@#-ton of time working on kanji. Pros: I’ll get a lot of kanji done, and kanji is necessary to the regular lessons as well, at least idealy. Cons: Lots of kanji…

Kanji Workbook: One of the things I’m working on to make kanji better is a workbook people can go through to help themselves learn the kanji and vocab much more effectively. Also working on much better anki decks (one should come out today) that will help too, but this is a much bigger project… I’d say 20-30 hours on this sounds about right, so it wouldn’t take the whole time, but will also help with some of the issues folks have with memorizing kanji / vocab. It’ll just make studying easier.

Grammar Section: I’d downvote this one personally in favor of “real” content, but thought I’d throw it out there. Kind of exists here but I haven’t done anything to it / with it. Could be something that I could get done / work on while in the car, but I think other things are more important.

Core Lessons: Prolly could get a few core lessons done too. Would also include some of the 6-stroke kanji (10 per lesson) so that’d slow things down a little, but would basically end up being ~3 or 4 weeks of content, all at once. Con is that kanji / other things won’t get done, pro is that it’s pretty normal stuff, just faster.

Conversation Section: Probably can’t do this one, just because of audio editing / bandwidth and such, but might be able to get the first Conversation lesson done, since much of the editing is already in place (just the explanation, etc., needs to happen). This is more high-intermediate / advanced anyways, though, so I’d tend to think this one isn’t as important (right this moment anyways), but thought I’d throw it out there…

Now, obviously not going to work solely on one thing, I think (don’t want to go insane), but would be awesome to hear what things you think are most important, that way if there’s a resounding “YESSSS” to one of them, I can make sure I focus on that!

Also, anything else you see as being something you’d want to see get slapped around a bit? Let me know what you think!

Personally, I’d like to see new stuff, so I am all for the coversation, grammar, and workbook portions. I am already way ahead on Kanji, but for those who aren’t, probably should add a handful or two?

Anyhow, keep trucking, you are doing a swell job man. Makes me happy to be a fugu.

Pleasant days,

The kanji workbook also interests me. It sounds extremely helpful and beneficial for not only people who are just getting started on kanji (like me, I could already know all the kanji by now and most of the readings but I’m a pro at procrastinating even though I know I should JFDI – sorry, rambling) but it could also help people who have already done things like RTK if they are a bit rusty on anything.

Either way, anything you do work on will surely be appreciated.

Aside from that I’m also excited to see the Conversation lessons as this is something that I think is lacking in a lot of textbooks.

Lol. No, I agree with Kaona/Zkitten, etc. Core lessons I think would be the most beneficial, but the kanji workbook sounds good. Incentive to jfdi (in regards to starting kanji)

Also, Elenkis, I love your picture. Best show ever.
