Spend Money, Learn Japanese Faster, Part 2 (Lang-8 Premium)

[MoniqueLea08]

Is the free version of lang-8 an one shot wonder, or could you try it out for an week or so longer, say an month, to see if you want to stay with them or not? >.<

[therealhermione]

@MoniqueLea08 The free version isn't time-limited~ The premium just gives you extra features, but the free version works great too~

I feel like one of the few people that dislike the premium feature of putting entries to the top for premium members. The other features such as the pdf file is cool.

Perhaps it depends on the language being learned. But that feature rubs me the wrong way. I do pay for other supplementary learning sites but I feel reluctant to get a premium account with lang-8.

[Kanjiguy]

If you are learning Japanese, you don't need to pay for premium there are a ton of Japanese people that will correct your entries right away, I never have to wait more than a few minutes and there is always 5-6 new people every time. If you are learning English it might be worth paying for, but for Japanese there are a greater number of natives willing to correct your entries, just always be polite and thank them and they will come back. In this economy, save your money for gas ;)

Awesome. I just checked out Lang-8 and signed up since they can do Thai as well, which is really cool. Thai does not stink like my Japanese does, like really, really does - like sweaty armpit-on-a-humid-July-afterno­on-on-a-crowded-bus-with-no-sh­ower-for-three-days stinks. You get the picture. ; )

Do you have a blue Godzilla figure holding a Dragonball? ...I love you

[MrsBenzedrine1]

So…… you're paying Hashi to sit in the background and google Pokémon (or tofugu) and play games?

[supah1337B]

@MrsBenzedrine1 and slap him

[supah1337B]

@MrsBenzedrine1 Besides hes on Tofugu.com if you look close enough

[vampyessebel]

i started to learn from [ live mocha.com] ... it doesn't teach you like i think it should, but it motivated me to get books and learn more details to the Japanese language

[WifiFreedom]

I'm kind of confused as to when "わたし”and ”ぼく” are used.

[yaazyy]

@WifiFreedom are you male? you can use boku when refering to yourself. are you female? you can use atashi. i chose to default to watashi because its a lot more formal than boku, which really should only be used with friends.

[JKawasawa]

HERACROSS!!!

[momothelemur]

I read the title as "how to SEND money to japan faster..."

[Nyanko]

Quick question. Whatever happened to eduFire? It seemed to dissolve without notice...

[WifiFreedom]

I REALLY want to study abroad to learn Japanese. I wish I could but I just don't have the money or time. :\

[R3D54ND]

....a ghost is using the computer behind him...noone is there and yet stuff is happening on the screen...

[LittleKittyKat123]

I wonder if tofugu does translations?

[spdrcd]

what?? no omake??

[xiongmao07]

on a side note - i have such an irrational love towards Hashi.

which is strange because he hasn't been featured extensively.

just working away, playing with his Heracross. what a cool guy - great to have you on board :)

[MikeyMage]

Hey, Koichi, is Rosetta Stone worth it? You should talk about it sometime, see if it is worth it or not.

[MurdocLC]

@MikeyMage He has talked about it. I don't know what video it is though.

[pedsay]

Is iknow.jp not worth paying? or what?

[SHINJITSUnoRAVEN]

OMG WHY IS THERE A HERACROSS IN THE BACKGROUND

[slayerking88]

[hodens1000]
