Additional Information about "Word of the Day" Email Course
Friday June 20, 2008
I am glad that quite a few people responded saying that the "Japanese Word of the Day" email course is great material to learn from. Some people, especially advanced learners, are asking if I could add Japanese writing for each word. Actually, there is a link under "Today's Audio Files" in the email lesson you receive every day. It leads you to the "Word of the Day" lesson on my site, which includes Japanese writing. It would be great if you have the time to check out Japanese writing and listen audio files every day.

I would really like it if the phrase of the day could be emailed in the same way. Personally, I think that would be even more useful than just a word.
Hi, I am enjoying your word of the day emails so much, however, I agree that it would be just great to have the kana sent with the email.
My 2 yen.
This page thas been more helpful than any other book or CD I’ve owned… Signed the list… Thank you! Arigato! Namiko rules!
I’d like to express my support to Infidel and Chase’s onegai. Onegaishimasu…
This is really great and it helps me a lot!
Only in some cases i still don’t know what a word means even tough theres a translation underneath (for example: kureteiru) im a beginner obviously.
Thnx ^^
I suggest to include the pronountiation the total phrase and not only the “word of the day”.
Thank you very much.
I have some experience living in Japan. Your column is terrific.
I wish you would include recommendations for popular song for those who like Japan. The music can be wonderful….
ps
Japanese movies with subtitles in Japanese are also a good way to learn for the advanced student.
oops.
American or other language-based movies with Japanese subtitles are good for learning Japanese.:)
Yes, Namikoさん rules. This is a great feature. The 単語 keep coming, and you have to keep learning them or they pile up.
ありがとうございました。
Namiko-san, I signed up for the daily email to try it out, but I would prefer to just use the website again. I get to much stuff in my email as it is.
However, I have not found any mechanism to “unsubscribe”. Could you add a link to the email to allow that?
I don’t have any other way to turn off the emails.
Thanks – Janet
Hi Namiko,
Great word of the day email. I just wanted to say that there is a little typo in the translation for the first sentence in the “egaku” page. The english translation omits “In the garden” and just says “I drew a picture of a tulip.” (It might be good to have a way of contacting you about errors) Anyways. Thanks for the daily refreshers!
Hello Namiko,
I think that the addition to the ‘Word of the Day’ is fantastic!…
Plus it is convenient to have links just below it!
But I think that it will be much more better if have a addition of ‘Phase of the Day’ and your Blog entries would be better!
Keep up the fantastic work!
