The Japanese Learner
Thursday, October 16th, 2008 by Enrico
I got back from my trip to Japan just over a week ago and I seem to have finally readjusted to sleeping in Eastern Time again. While the long vacation was quite nice and I was incredibly excited to be in Japan for the first time in my life, I’m glad to be back to my work, crafting content and identity management solutions for our clients.
I’m still catching up on technology news; things move so quickly in this industry that a little time away can mean missing a lot. So, I want to take a moment to introduce a new personal project of mine that I’ve just made live after months of planning and work.
I’m currently producing a podcast called The Japanese Learner. While there are more than a few podcasts out there that offer Japanese lessons, this podcast has a different aim: the goal of this show is to be host to deep and interesting discussions on how to go about learning Japanese, including study tips and tricks, books and other materials, long-term learning strategies, and tidbits of Japanese culture to keep learners motivated. Episodes are released every two weeks, though I’m currently trying to put everything back on schedule after being away for so long.
If you’re thinking of learning Japanese or have already taken the plunge and are learning it, I highly recommend that you listen to The Japanese Learner. I hope that you will all enjoy listening to it as much as I’ve enjoyed producing it.
