laddr 04/24/2019 at 11:00 am on Shattering your Barriers – How I Learned 1000 Cards in 6 daysAgreed it is a great article. Really in depth and good to hear from a fellow learner. A few things really resonated with me. First enjoying the dopamine spikes. Even doing ten cards a ten, I love doing my reviews and then doing a Terrace...
YoukaiCountry 04/23/2019 at 7:18 pm on Shattering your Barriers – How I Learned 1000 Cards in 6 daysReally great article. I'm probably not going to push myself as crazy hard, but I am going to try some of these methods out and see where I get :) The idea of previewing the material before seeing the cards in Anki, and then isolating...
Adam 04/23/2019 at 1:19 pm on How a Jalup Deck is Made – Behind the ScenesAhh the word 口. Sometimes I get carried away with the simple definitions, like with the word 飛行機 on JI909 :) Hanne 04/23/2019 at 10:23 am on How a Jalup Deck is Made – Behind the ScenesThe further I get into the decks, the more I appreciate everything you have put into them. I just reviewed Intermediate card no 234 where you explain an “easy” word. It must be so hard to find easy J-J definitions for words like eye or...
Julie 04/22/2019 at 2:54 pm on Achieving Your Japanese Goals – April 2019Gah, I finally finished making cards from my old lesson notes. Glad I did, lots of fun vocab in there but I had to go as far as back as September 2017. I dropped the ball for longer than I thought. Also finished 悪夢の六号室。I think...
- Adam 04/22/2019 at 10:27 am on Jalup App – GuidebookCurrently no. But it is definitely one of the most requested features, and will be added to a later update.
- Adam 04/22/2019 at 10:26 am on How a Jalup Deck is Made – Behind the Scenes10,000 is still very far away. But you never know! And remember, slowpokes still become fluent.
- Adam 04/22/2019 at 10:25 am on How a Jalup Deck is Made – Behind the ScenesThanks for your purchase and support Jada! Now I just need to make a college class out of Jalup :P
Max 04/22/2019 at 8:28 am on Jalup App – GuidebookAfter using the app a few times now, I found that I miss one feature. I miss a way to undo my last review. It happened to me, that I accidently hot the big red button instead the button for a correct answer and simply...
Jada 04/22/2019 at 1:23 am on How a Jalup Deck is Made – Behind the ScenesThank you so much for all your hard work. I recently purchased JALUP Maximum on the iOS app and I'm really enjoying it! It's so nice to be able to read a sentence and understand it without having to translate it to English in your...
Jonathan 04/21/2019 at 5:04 pm on Jalup Group Challenge 14: One Thousand J-J Cards in Three MonthsHello everyone - I'm pretty new to the JALUP effort and I'd like to join this challenge - I'm focusing on finishing KK first though if that's ok. I've completed 700 J-J Intermediate and 1341 KK cards. I plan to focus on KK first as...
Rick 04/21/2019 at 2:49 pm on Jalup Group Challenge 14: One Thousand J-J Cards in Three MonthsI'm at 73 cards into Jalup Intermediate right now.
- Adam 04/21/2019 at 10:26 am on Jalup Mobile – Free Promo Codes for Previous Jalup CustomersWell I do appreciate the extra support Max :) I'll make sure you continue enjoying the app with new features and updates.
Tom Wulff 04/20/2019 at 9:50 am on Jalup Group Challenge 14: One Thousand J-J Cards in Three MonthsLevel is 13. Experience in Jalup is 75 Jalup Beginner cards. So I'm going to go from 76 in JB to 75 in J-J. My plan is to do 11 cards per day. I think I'll post this in Jalup Group Challenge 2, where maybe...
- Adam 04/19/2019 at 10:23 am on How a Jalup Deck is Made – Behind the ScenesI’m glad the posts continue to work and help boost the power of the decks. Sometimes people actually get the decks (through the app), and then ask me how to study Japanese. And I have to point them to the existence of the blog, which...
- Adam 04/19/2019 at 10:20 am on How a Jalup Deck is Made – Behind the ScenesI always wonder why they chose not to include sample sentences sometimes. A sample sentence is always better. Recursive definitions are the devil to any J-J learner :P
- Adam 04/19/2019 at 10:18 am on How a Jalup Deck is Made – Behind the ScenesHearing that is the only thing that makes the link coding bearable :)
- Adam 04/19/2019 at 10:17 am on How a Jalup Deck is Made – Behind the ScenesI agree and always encourage people to study however they want. Using the Jalup decks isn't a requirement to learn Japanese here. Which is why there are hundreds of articles that help people who would rather do everything themselves and "go solo."
- Adam 04/19/2019 at 10:14 am on How a Jalup Deck is Made – Behind the ScenesSome people on language learner forums complain about everything, and it's the complainers who are the loudest. There are also some people that have held a weird grudge against Jalup ever since I started making and selling products to help people. I don't do Jalup...
- Adam 04/19/2019 at 10:02 am on How a Jalup Deck is Made – Behind the ScenesYeah this is an issue for some people who try to purchase it on Google Play. I e-mailed you about it.
- Adam 04/19/2019 at 10:02 am on How a Jalup Deck is Made – Behind the ScenesIf it can make your journey better, that makes it all worthwhile.
- Adam 04/19/2019 at 10:01 am on How a Jalup Deck is Made – Behind the ScenesTwo random examples of notes added later: -- Note: Adding a で before ある to get である can either 1. end a sentence similar to です or 2. word1 である word2 = word2 that is word1 -- Note 1: The casual form of a verb...
- Adam 04/19/2019 at 10:00 am on How a Jalup Deck is Made – Behind the ScenesThat makes me very happy to hear. Thanks!
- Adam 04/19/2019 at 9:59 am on The Difficulty Ranking of Getting Access to Japanese VideoIt's a positive addiction :)
Andrew 04/19/2019 at 6:29 am on How a Jalup Deck is Made – Behind the ScenesThe quality really shows in these cards. Ive tried learning two different languages before japanese and, from that perspective, the cards are very clearly built with a solid grasp and understanding of how language learning works at a fundemental level. The one thing that drew...
Victoria 04/19/2019 at 12:07 am on The Difficulty Ranking of Getting Access to Japanese VideoI found this comment by accident and I can say - after 6 months of living here, the amount of money I have spent at Tsutaya is heinous but worth it! I never saw myself being a drama addict but here I am...
Michael 04/17/2019 at 6:14 pm on Achieving Your Japanese Goals – April 2019Good recommendation and I agree. I'm actually already doing it, specifically with the show Terrace House right now because at this point in my studies, I feel I'd benefit more from a show like that by actually going through what is being said, rather than...
Silwing 04/17/2019 at 10:58 am on Achieving Your Japanese Goals – April 2019I personally enjoy Tae Kim's Guide to Japanese a lot! I have read through the most of it quite a few times and really like the style. It feels like a good supplement to the indirect way of learning grammar with Jalup. So if you...
Link 04/17/2019 at 4:47 am on How a Jalup Deck is Made – Behind the ScenesThe card linking system was a game-changer. It helped SO MUCH during the j-j transition
