It sounds like the main version is very similar to the TTMIK podcasts I went through last
year during my TAC 2014 run then, which is perfect. Those were in the 10-20 minute range
as well (with the later episodes it was tight trying to fit two of them into my 35-40 minute
commute) and also explained a lot in English (especially in the early lessons).

If I recall correctly, TTMIK was started by teachers that left KoreanClass101, so that would
explain why you've seen them both places.

Add me to the list of people who would recommend JPOD101. The only thing I dobn't like
about it is the spammy emails, but that's easily fixed.

I paid, well my company paid, for a Premium subscription. That gets you all the PDFs
and
all the MP3s. I didn't find the website-based functions that much use.

addition to or
instead of JapanesePod101?


I haven't seen anything else that provides the breadth and depth of material that
JPOD101
provides. Every lesson comes as an MP3, often provides a dialog-only track (which saves
you lots of time once you decide that you want Japanese-only audio for a while) and
comes
with a PDF which includes a transcript (plus usually a grammar point or two).

They provide hundreds or beginner-level lessons, but, unlike plenty of other sites,
also
provide hundreds of intermediate-level lessons. I'd say the Lower Intermediate stuff is
suitable for JLPT N3 and Upper Intermediate is for JLPT N2, or thereabouts.

TBH, once you've worked through everything that JPOD101 offers, surely you're ready to
just
consume native media (on youtube, on news sites or whatever).

Hi guys,

I just joined the TAC2015 and want to become a member
of your team, because Japanese is one of the two
languages I am going to study.
I already learned the Kana, but besides that i am
basically starting from scratch. I will be using
Pimsleur, Genki and Remembering the Kanji.
My goal is to pass the N5 test on the first weekend in
December.

Here's a link to my log:

Cheers,
jesm86

Hi Jesm86, of course you can join and welcome to the team. Make sure to sign up over at
the TAC 2015 thread and the Wikia page. The thread has the instructions on what to do.
Good luck!


N.B. I can't access your log, and that's probably because of the buggy forum code. Use
something like Bitly to shorten your link so that it links well.

I always worry about services like these: will they be around five years from now? If not
the links will have rotted ...

For the purposes of a one year challenge I think we'll be ok!
