Monday, September 18th, 2006
Learn Japanese with JapanesePod101.com! The JapanesePod101.com community does it again! Justin Silvestre, a just-turned-fifteen U.S. based listener, used his remarkable artistic skills to breathe life into a JapanesePod101.com story. Justin-san created an audio anime learning tool based on our Brothers, Brothers series to enhance the community’s learning experience and turn his anime creation into a unique learning experience! This amazing tool allows the listener to play the line-by-line audio over and over while viewing Justin’s amazing and detailed artwork.

An interview with the author Justin Silvestre:
JapanesePod101: How long have you been studying Japanese?
Justin Silvestre: I’ve been studying Japanese for a few years on my own, hoping to participate in a foreign exchange program in my junior year.
JapanesePod101: How did you find JapanesePod101.com?
Justin Silvestre: I stumbled upon JapanesePod101 while browsing through the iTunes Music Store.
JapanesePod101: Where did you get the idea for this?
Justin Silvestre: After listening to a few Podcasts and looking around the old site, I got the idea to e-mail Peter. You see, I’ve been drawing ever since I could hold a crayon, and at the moment, my creative spark had gone missing. So then I figured that the JPod crew could use my skills, and if I were to do some work for them, I could continue to exercise my artistic skills, and at the same time help out fellow Japanese students.
Thank you Justin! You work is truly amazing!

Just when I think Japanesepod101.com couldn’t possibly be better, something new comes along:shock
Amazing and wonderful! Thanks for being open to so much creativity and participation from all of us!! (Oh, I’m getting “verklemmt” just thinking about that!:cr

Oh, I’m so glad to see this!! I love anime and it’s one of the many reasons I started to learn Japanese! Very exciting and a great idea!! I’m definately looking forward to it!
September 19th, 2006 at 7:25 am
Well, now that I’ve read it, I must comment again. Great idea and wonderful drawing, Justin-san! ^_^ I would love to see more!

:shock::shock
WOW! Beautiful Justin-san I’m very happy to see a Anime section finally they listen to us the true die hard fans like myself 
I also agree with Courtney the reason I started learning Japanese is because I love Anime, Manga, JPop, JRock, JHorror Movies, Japanese people and of course the country of the rising sun! Japan Rules Forever!

Neat idea. I really like the way the line by line audio was linked to the speech bubbles, which also had the kanji and furigana. Your drawing is excellent.
September 19th, 2006 at 10:08 pm
AMAZING! What talent! I’m blown away! As Carlos from Italy says, Justin’s cartoon really enhanced the humor of the dialog.
September 19th, 2006 at 10:38 pm
Fantastic work, Justin. And fair play to JPod for putting it up there and giving you their support. I’m sure you have a great future ahead of you.
