Thanks, cool feature! I’d love to get integrated with the Nihongo Sou Matome series. Their N3 grammar book is terrible in terms of explanations but I like how it’s laid out for content, so it’d be nice to follow along and get support via Bunpro.

We use “Japanese for Busy People” in my Japanese School, which evidently no one else uses! Thanks for the paths, that is a great idea. I’ve just been jumping around to whatever we learn in class that week.

Do you want pictures of the table of contents for the Shin Kanzen Master books? Or do you already have that covered?

Tofugu’s review for JFBP cracked me up. My classes uses V3. Great audio dialogue but a serious lack of kanji throughout the book and too much talk about fax machines!

Definitely gonna go for the lifetime in a few weeks. Just… need another paycheck to feel safe enough to do so :smiley:

No doubt the yearly will go up as BP gets more developed and popular (as they should). Just got the LT subscription. They’ve made a a lot of progress in a short time and I look forward to more!

If you need a screenshot of the TRY! N3 table of content, do let me know! If you want to add it to paths, that is. :smiley:

Fax machines aren’t as anachronistic as one might think …

Neither is indoor plumbing :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: I still keep a fax number in my work email signature and I have to make a fax next week because a send secure dropbox wasn’t available. I know Japan still loves their fax machines even as we approach 2019

It is funny*, isn’t it?
That reminded me of a story that got some reverberating press in the western media about the Japanese czar of internet security not ever having used a computer.

I am not kidding when I say that his confession occurred to me as totally uncontroversial. Maybe that is a sign that I have been in Kansai too long?

*not “ha-ha”, but not the norm

Adore the updates since last time I was studying really consistently, before my dissertation. Great work.

HA! I liked the quote regarding how his personal cyber-security must be impenetrable. Reminds of the US congress hearings earlier this year where they struggled to understand Facebook’s business model. For anyone who has helped a parent with a smartphone, this may not be surprising.

… his personal cyber-security must be impenetrable.

It is ‘air-gap’-like; perfectly so.

A method to the ‘madness’?

Ok so I really love the paths feature… any word on when this will be released for the second みんなの日本語? Also, given that Bunpro currently misses various grammar points from these books, will they be added in at some point?
