How about that intro pumped the hell out of me just to find out that all available spaces are sold out. Looks like I’ll keep on studying on my own until I can take a seat.

Is there an email where I can subscribe to know when new spots are open?

Why on earth is he keeping it so exclusive? If he sells 32 spots, does he not make twice as much as if he sold 16??

I just found this, but now it’s all sold out!

16 spots opened on June 8th, and they’re all taken already?
Crap, I was really considering doing this soon, even thought the daily/months were sold out…

“That’s what you get when you put people through years of “sit down, shut up and do as you’re told”; you get people who only know how to be managed and be led — you get sheep.” -Khatz
So, basically AJATT SS is for sheeps, sorry sheeps it isn’t your fault..

For everyone who isn’t spoon fed.. This site japaneselevelup.com has a great guide for going J-J! It worked as a boost for my ajatt experience! Free too of course..

where is the risk when its guaranteed, full money back?

It’s okay bro, I agree with you. People just get defensive over needing someone else to do their hard language-learning work for them.

Hey, I’m just voiceing my opinion, about ajatt silverspoon.I just don’t think ajatt silverspoon is for me. Geez people, lighten up. The time we’re wasting here( myself included lol) is time that we could be studying Japanese. Khatz puts out all kinds of Ajatt merchandise. Everyone isn’t going to like all of it. Stop bitching to these people and read a manga already!

This describes my experience too.

Paying less than $2 a day to have Khatz plan things out for me saves me hours per day which I can use to do paid work. I’m actually saving money by being subscribed!

Do you ever stop whining?

Tarkonis’s comment I third, to many times I personally have strayed from the path to Japanese, with this, it keeps ya focused! Not only that but finally I have resource to take from.

Oops… now I feel bad. That was comment was a little too condescending… sorry. 🙁

Here’s how it works: if you don’t want to use it, then don’t use it. If you do want to use it, then you can use it. You always have those two options. Why do people always forget that?

By: Tyler

Tyler — Thu, 09 Jun 2011 16:17:44 +0000

You know what, I was going to write something defensive… But I feel like it’s better saved. If you don’t have the money, don’t buy it. Save your money and buy Japanese media. Keep on keeping on. And when you’re fluent in Japanese, we’ll all congratulate you!

Tyler — Thu, 09 Jun 2011 16:13:45 +0000

^This. Over and over again, read this.

You’ve described my situation, except I just started!

@Cush: You can do what you want. It’s just a guide. In between recommended activity you can do what you want. Take a break? Up to you.. It’s the AJATT method but having stuff I wouldn’t know how to find, found for you. You choose to use it or not use it. The most important thing is that it keeps me on the path and makes me excited to think of what is coming the next day. I don’t look at the next day’s content before work as it makes the journey to work fun. When could you ever have said that travelling to work was fun?

Personally (being a member) the things being offered so far are examples of things I wouldn’t be able to find myself. (As I can’t read Japanese, hence mine japanese websites for media).

I’m enjoying it so far. I come to work with a smile on my face because I know that in 563 days i’m going to be fluent in Japanese. If i’m not fluent in Japanese I get all my money back in one go. *>>ALL MY MONEY BACK<<*

What did I have to lose.. Nothing.

If anything it's forced me to get organised(ish). I've dug out my old Ipod and put Japanese things on it. I'm watching Drama every night and have removed my usual English media (apart from this blog) from my environment. I've stopped playing my English video games and stopped watching TV in favour of internet Japanese media. I never did this just reading the blog. I would always procrastinate. I would always binge like Khatz said, get bored/frustrated at my lack of progress and fall of the wagon.

As I now have an end goal that is tangible, it made me stop being lazy and get with the program.

I didn’t receive a mail with the information about this new opening. :< One day late and it is all sold out, except for the 2 year package which is way too risky for me to spend so much money on. I'll keep checking back if new openings come though…

I think that Ajatt silver spoon is an insult to real ajatt learners and is sacrilegious to the ajatt method( classes suck, what happened to that huh?) I thought ajatt was about doing what we wanted, not what Khatz wanted. Sorry Khatz, no sale.
