Spring Cleaning at JapanesePod101.com

Saturday, February 17th, 2007

Mina-san,

As many of you heard in the Saturday’s news, JapanesePod101.com will be taking five days next week, February 19th through the 23rd, to take a look at everything that we’ve done over the past year, and then shuffle it all into order. Things are non-stop around here, with a small team constantly working to bring you, the listeners, high-quality content, released daily. With such a rush, it’s easy for things to get a bit messy! That’s why it’s time to do a little spring cleaning here at JapanesePod101.com.

Not only will we be getting things in order behind the scenes, but the improvements to our web site just keep continuing. Our blog, long neglected, will be brought back to life in a whole new way, with a whole new design. We have a number of contributors who will be bringing you various content related to Japanese, which you can hear more about in the Saturday news. There is a lot to look forward to once we swing back into motion!

While spring cleaning may be necessary, we realize that it may be an inconvenience to some of you, but don’t worry! If you are a paid Basic or Premium subscriber simply email support@japanesepod101.com when your subscription ends to receive a one-week extension. Be sure to include your email and username when sending the request.

In closing, we want to extend a huge thank you to all of our listeners - you are the ones that keep us motivated to keep providing quality lessons and study materials. If it weren’t for you, we wouldn’t be here. Thank you for all that you give, and thank you for your understanding. See you next week!

Yoroshiku onegai shimasu.

    Hello JP crew,
    hope the improvements to the site are coming along fine.
    let me tell you this, you guys are just AMAZING to have done so much non-stop for the past year.
    Even though you have a small crew, but what you are doing with your time is Great. Just imagine how many people you have helped and inspired to learn this facsinating language. You guys deserve some time off, if anything you guys should take more weeks off instead of one :wink:
    Even though I’m a little behind, well more like 8 months behind :cry:, but with your help I feel like all the lessons are coming together beautifully, and my comprehension of the Japanese language is increasing exponentially.
    Anyway, just wanted to “Drop by and say hi” like Peter-san always says :grin:.

    Microsoft ruined the word “wow” for me.

    Your wrong Microsoft make the difference, he made the word WOW the best! Its now a fashion expression and
