Another long-time lurker. Although I haven’t been able to go at Spanish as intensely as you did with Japanese, your methodology has helped me make leaps and bounds in the last 4 months. Thank you so much for publishing your experience, and I’m happy to contribute $10.

Haven’t gotten the QRG yet, and if I do it would merely be for donation purposes, I just wanted to comment on all the different QRG banners you made, pretty funny stuff, especially the one that’s in Japanese, and the fact that I could understand it made me feel good, and I wish people would keep on writing 漢字 like 此処 and 珈琲。。。等等. Even though those words are usually written in hiragana or katakana now I like the Kanji better =P

I just bought this (like.. 2 seconds ago) so I haven’t even started reading it yet, but like many of the comments already note, I’m terribly happy to buy this if only as a donation and major “Thanks”. Everything on this page is very inspirational, in the Steve Pavlina way. Tho my Japanese still is far from ideal (despite living in Japan!), I owe what progress I have to this site. Thanks a million, Khatz!

Since I am already fully immersed and a few weeks in the sentences step I don’t really need the guide. Also I have read most of the stuff pertaining to the steps I passed and am on.

I bought it since I feel like I own it to you, thanks!

The year is 1999. Some Japanese exchange students come to our high school (for about a month). When they first get there, there is an “assembly” (all students in the same room) where the Japanese students do a traditional-looking dance to traditional Japanese-sounding music. What they DIDN’T tell me is that Japanese music is really of all shapes and sizes just like American music. I would only find out this fact about three years later. I surmise the students would me more interested in listening a song in their favorite genre (which is NEVER going to be classical – sorry teach). The Japanese students were asked if they like the song – they said yes – but I don’t know if I trust that answer.

What I like about learning from music:
1) I can’t even hear a song like Death Note OP. Way too fast and garbled.
2) My only exposure to Japanese music is anime OPs. I think they are good (sounding) songs for the most part.
3) When you sing, you speak much slower than normal. Especially ballad type songs which comprise the majority of anime OPs.
4) When you learn: SLOW, then FAST. Songs are a good way to get exposure to SLOW, while the rest of the program is FAST. Learning just from fast is impossible. When you “stop the tape” and replay a segment during your active learning time, it’s just another form of slow.
5) For some reason, I want to look up unknown words in song lyrics WAY MORE than unknown words in dialogue…don’t know why.
6) My favorite artist? KOTOKO. It’s okay if you don’t like her though. To each his own. I also like Sambomaster.

Khatzumoto, thank you. The QRG was definitely a good read; it was simple (in a good way) and straightforward. For people who (annoyingly) haven’t read your site yet and just can’t figure things out, it seems like a great place to start. You were right when you said we really didn’t need it, but thank you anyways. It was very motivating.

That’s when you know you’ve truly made it, when people starting making Chuck Norris jokes about you…

KM, are we going to start making Chuck Norris jokes out of Khatzu?
