Top Ten things that will make Japanese Language students argue:

Top Ten things that will make Japanese Language students argue:

  1. Learning Japanese is easy - you can learn in 7 days

  2. Japanese is hard - you must be gifted with a special language ability

  3. All Japanese All the Time (AJATT) method is all you need - we don't need no stinking grammar

  4. All Japanese All the Time method is a crock

  5. Taking the JLPT is a must

  6. Taking the JLPT is a waste of money

  7. RTK is genius!

  8. RTK is a waste of time

  9. You need classroom study to perfect your Japanese - without it, you're not really learning Japanese

  10. You can be fluent, able to read in less than 3 years


I think people just love belong to groups, so we all have varying points of view.

Welcome to my bookshelf

Welcome to my bookshelf. I have several other blogs where I can't really fit everything I want to say...odds and ends, really.

Just as my real-life bookshelves serve as storage, way-stations and permanent resting places for everything I can't find space for..so this blog will serve as place for those odds and ends.

I appreciate your patience.
