Cayler responds:
I most certainly will. I wanted to do it on this one, but I figured that would be getting to far ahead.
Yay!
+This is SO good.
+I totally approve and support this submission.
+this is the only tutorial in my FAVOURITES. It will be used over and over. I did some Karate and picked up a few scraps, but not enough to build on.
Thank You
-You might get your sensei to pronouce the whole sentences at the end.
-Grasshopper is used here as a name and should, therefore, be capitalised. I will contact the other Dragons & Spirits- I feel certain they will support this
Cayler responds:
Thanx! I actually don't have a sensei. The voice of the sensei was just sounds I took from a small program I had. lol When it comes to stuff that I don't have in my current collection, I may look elsewhere for authentic voices but if I can't find any that match what I want to teach, I may have to resort to saying the phrases myself. I don't consider myself bad at pronouncing Japanese, but it's just for safety that I search elsewhere before I make my own sounds. I could end up sounding really foolish to a native and teaching people how to speak -Japanese with an English accent- lol
Hm.. ok but not great..
Let's go with + and -
+ You worked hard
+ The interactivity is nice
+ The sound is not agressing either
+ The actual Japanese pronunciation is excellent (You don't sound like a foreigner with a bad accent)
- Your Yamada-sensei looks more Chinese than anything
- It is very basic Japanese as in you don't explore a lot
- You are trying to teach different things at once which don't make sense until you study further
Being that I have been speaking Japanese for over 6 years and that I live in Japan, of course my view is biased a little. I have learned nothing new in this but some people will, although very simple.
While I understand that you teach the Keigo form (polite Japanese with the form "desu"), it is however not very common in reglar conversations and although people will understand you, you however will not understand the reply.
But hey! It works to impress your friends a little! ^^
And I admit that you have worked really hard on the presentation!
LOVED IT!
I must amze my friends with my japanese skills! Thanks dude!
Japanese lesson
I liked it a lot when i first clicked it. but since i'm learning Japanese my self too i found a few mistakes or things that could've been better. At first the main menu says 'Grammer' which should be 'grammar'.
When 'your' character is intruduced you call yourself Celeb-kun. But in Japanese you can't call yourself -kun. only your friends are named by -kun.
At the part of counting the number 4 is shown as 'shi'. Nothing wrong with it, but 'yon' i much more used. And in the example sentences the partical 'no' is used, which isn't explained at all.
But overall it's a great idea, worked out with humor, the graphics are good and i'm waiting for a Japanease lesson 2!!
