DISQUS

WOTDsctoo · 1 year ago

>>Have any of you participated in any of these classes? I know for a fact that some of you have…

Haha, I guess you're looking for testimonials. XD

I've taken a couple classes, and they were pretty fun / informative. The one's by Koichi were the most fun (although I've only taken one that wasn't from him). Having the large audience lends the lesson a tooon of energy. :)

Thanks for posting these!!!! :D

Serena · 1 year ago

Wow, this is a great !
ありがとございます！

Ank · 1 year ago

Too bad about all the time differences. I've not really had the chance to participate in one, since I live in Europe and that's not necessarily the time zone people are taking into account when doing double classes -.-

koichi · 1 year ago

There should be quite a few, you just have to search for them, which is kind of a pain right now

KitsuneDragon · 1 year ago

That is so cool! Hopefully I can participate those :D But I've never been to those online classes so idk how it is. Can anyone tell me there experience? Do you need a webcam?

koichi · 1 year ago

Depends on the teacher - I don't require one, because I tend to do more students and do things more lecture style. Just look at the description of the class, and most people will tell you if it's required or not.

KitsuneDragon · 1 year ago

oh ok, thanks for the reply ^.=.^

I've participated in 5 Japanese classes on eduFIRE thus far. I immediately signed up for 40+ more sessions after those first 5. They were more than great! Great set-up and very easy to use for new comers. And best of all...THEY'RE FREE! I mean you can't ask for a better deal in this economy O_O

eduFIRE has a great community of people, all of whom are very helpful. I say try the classes out, you have nothing to lose and a wonderful wealth of knowledge to gain!

koichi · 1 year ago

WOW, you've done a ton. I agree, though. Amazing deal :)

Arky · 1 year ago

I Love EduFire :')

Now if only all tutors knew about Private vs Public classes.

koichi · 1 year ago

Seriously, right?
That's definitely something eduFire should reword, though, I think

Arky · 1 year ago

That isn't a bad proposal, Ideas board maybe?

koichi · 1 year ago

Good idea! Go for it :)

sophiebee · 1 year ago

Thanks for this great post. I've joined a few classes which should be intersting. There was alot that I wanted to attend but they were allready filled or the wrong time for me. Hopefully my first class won't be too confusing to use.

koichi · 1 year ago

oh nose! Hopefully more will be added soon.

J.A. · 1 year ago

Yo, Koichi, I have a question, Is it ok for me to use the microphone on my computer instead of a headset? And when we register in edufire, do we have to use our real name? :) thanks for reading.

koichi · 1 year ago

Yep, that's what I do usually.

You don't have to use a real name, though I think it's normally encouraged.

Look forward to seeing you there, I hope!

koichi · 1 year ago

Just a quick question...

Anyone getting the reference of the image at the top?

Fredy · 1 year ago

No. :(

Catherine · 1 year ago

signed up after continually hearing about it. On exploring, it does look good and perhaps a little impulsively I've signed myself up for a few courses. I like the fact that a) it's free and b) it's proper japanese lessons for free. Any classes I'e found round here have been well over £100 so this is pretty cool! The different time zones really suck though. One of the courses I'm interested in (two in fact) are at 3:00am. Crazy...

ps. It's only Japanese ones that are going free for a bit aren't they?

Juria · 1 year ago

I registered for one of your classes! I can't wait :3

Seth · 1 year ago

I just did Nana's intermediate Japanese class. I liked it because Nana is a tough mofo. It wasn't too difficult, but she just pressed hard, and only spoke in Japanese, and got you to speak.

I think the class isn't too hard for anyone whose studied for a year or two. And I definitely recommend it.

Mau · 1 year ago

hey Koichi, I'm new to edufire and I'm really excited about these classes, I enrolled for few but I have a question. I clicked "register for this class" and then in my profile it appears that I enrolled with all of the classes that particular teacher is giving. Is that normal? O.o Like for example: I registered for tomorrow at 10pm and in my profile it lists that same class but with all the other times and days... ^^;

koichi · 1 year ago

That's because the class you enrolled for is actually a series of classes
(most likely). I listed off approx 40 lessons that are available, but many
of them are actually a series of classes :)

Some classes may be a "one-off" class that repeats, though, and if this is
one of those then you'll probably want to unenroll after you take the class.

Mau · 1 year ago

ohhh ok, XD thanks! Now I get it.

Zhana · 10 months ago

hey!! :P
i wanna learn Japanese too!
Ihave katakana down, but that's about it... i wanna find a good class starting around now (specifally by you if possible cuz u r awesome) and if edufire's free why does it say Cost: __USD?? i'm really confuzzled here lol. any help?

koichi · 10 months ago

Somce classes are going to cost money, most japanese classes are still free
though. This article's pretty old, which means classes have since come out
of beta testing, and are out in the real world, which means teachers have
the ability to affix a $$$ amount to them. Here is Japanese:

Cheers!

Zhana · 10 months ago

Thank you!! I really had no idea though because I had never been on edufire before. Pity.
P.S i just signed up for your Japanese for Complete Beginners class :P i missed the first one because like I said I just signed up. Thankfully and somewhat coincidentally I just got through with Hiragana and should be just fine for the second class! Can't wait!

Yours,
Zhana

AAARRGHH!!!
I just finished enrolling in this Japanese second language course for school, i'm in year 11, and its going towards my end of year grades how i do. i'm doing vce in victoria, australia, they wrote on the VCE website that it would be better to have had previous tuition in the subject, however not completely nescerrary to become successful in the subject-i was so excited!!! and now i enrol via this distance ed program because it isnt a subject in my school, and i looked at the work and i think i'm gonna puke!!!! AAARRRGHHH!!! they expect us to know all of this vocabulary and some kanji too!! anyways, i am gonna have to study a lot if i want to catch up...otherwise i'll fail my grade...T_T
to anybody who took the time to read this to the bottom: thankyou for acknowledging my desperation and sorrow...i just felt like i had to tell someone...
