Zombies and Japanese, Or, The Halloween Horror Sentence Pack: Available Only Now :)

Japan is many things, and one of those things is a great producer and consumer of fear- and thrill-generating experiences.

And you are many things. But above all, you are a lover of Halloween, or as we call it in my country, Christian: هالووين.
What? What, I can’t do impressions of Morgan Freeman as Azeem the Moor in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves? But it’s not racist if it’s funny and well-intention — oh, it wasn’t funny? OK.

Where were we? Yes.
You love dressing up and you love how other people look dressed up in those form-fitting costumes — and by “other people” I mean chicks, because even chicks are into chicks amiright?

Sorry, that was the American beer commercial Khatzumoto talking. I’m back now. I’m sensitive and caring and I give foot footrubs and use neutral pronouns and “she” a lot when I actually mean “he” because it’s just right.

Oops. Still beer commercial Khatz (hey! that might make for a good costume…).

ANYWAY!

You like Halloween, because…I dunno…you’re into ancient European harvest festivals, and you love themed holidays; you love celebrating and drinking fruit punch and, gol darn, man — I don’t know what your reasons are!! OK?! I really don’t. But I know that it’s always awesome to be able to inject some Japanese into whatever the world at large is fussing about at the time 😉 .

esplogoSo Why Would Anyone Even Want This?

Because they’re dirty pagans looking for a good time 1! Why the Halloween else does anyone want anything Halloween-themed?! It’s the only explanation that makes sense; you know that. You already knew when you asked that question. Why are you even asking me! Why are you asking me questions whose answers you already know!

Oh I know why — because you’re a dirty pagan, and dirty pagans are lazy motherlovers, who love to avoid typing things and love to combine entertainment and educational value (“infotainment, be arch!”) and love to read creepy subject matter and love to pay other people to do their homework, an act to which this is, quite frankly, equivalent. That’s why 😛 .

Who’s It For? Who Should Get the Halloween Horror Sentence Pack (HXP)?

The HXP is for you if you are:

  • A little gross
  • A little morbid(ly curious)
  • A dirty pagan
  • Who loves to play dress up
  • And read, watch, play and say scary things
  • And who enjoys holidays
  • And can handle the FEAR! 😛

And wants to do so in Japanese

Who’s It Not For?

  • People who are already native-level in Japanese
  • People don’t want to know any Japanese
  • People who want to go it alone
  • People who actually have morals and aren’t dirty pagans
  • Because f### dirty pagans; I hope they all go to heck
  • Oh yeah, all of them…straight to heck 😀

Don’t MCDs (Massive-Context Cloze Deletions) Make Sentences Irrelevant? Didn’t The 10,000 Method Sentences Die?

The answer to the first question is no. The answer to the second is yes. MCDs re-orient how we work with sentences; they change how sentence packs are used. And as a result, MCDs actually make sentence packs even more useful by allowing us to absorb and internalize them both more deeply and more effortlessly. “More effortlessly” — that sounds funny, but you get the point! Ultimately, the point is to get the language inside your head, inside your body — to turn the language, as we Japanese say, into part of your “blood and bone” — and MCDs, combined with sentence packs, accomplish this in spectacular fashion.

Sweet! How Can I Get Mine?

The Halloween Horror Sentence Pack (HXP) comes in three nightmarish flavors — nano pumpkin, Wittle Pumpkin and big pimpin’ I mean BIG PUMPKIN. nano pumpkin’s cheapest, wittle pumpkin’s in the middle; BIG PUMPKIN is the most value, born and raised in value village. BIG PUMPKIN is an absolute steal. You choose your poison! All contain and are based on engaging, for-native-by-native subject matter that’s actually fun and funny and interesting and relevant to your life, because how many times are you going to read a textbook that shows you how to say you’re a student with two brothers and a younger sister before you want to shoot yourself and come do some Halloween for real (yeah, apparently Halloween has an ancestor spirit, dead-back-to-life element to it; I didn’t know; I honestly thought it was about drinking and sexy costumes)? Exactly.

Oh, and good luck finding a textbook that talks to you about zombies. That’s right. Zombies and Japanese. Zombies and AJATT. Together. As one. Combined. In the same place. Two headshots with one bullet.

Timebomb Pricing

Timebomb Pricing: Unlike many other AJATT products, there is no limit to the number of people who can get it on this bad boy and get themselves their very own Halloween Sentence Pack (HXP). However, the price is always increasing, automatically and permanently, like an upward-ticking timebomb. So it starts low and keeps going up until it reaches a final resting price. Then it rests for some time. Then it starts rising again.

Here, try this experiment: check the price now, and then come back and check it later, maybe even as little as a quarter of an hour — fifteen minutes — later, and see how much you could have saved. And then realize that you’ll save that and more by acting now rather than later. Early action is always richly rewarded; such is the AJATT way.

Sexy Satisfaction Guarantee

Buy it. Try it. No likey? No payey. Just ask me for a full refund. No fuss. No hassles. Just be like: “I love you, Khatz. You’re so pretty and smart. I just want a refund for the Halloween Horror Sentence Pack (HXP). I promise I’ll be back soon”, and AJATT staff will run your refund for you with a smile 😀 . We know you’ll be back, baby 😛 . We know.

Awesome, engaging, entertaining subject matter that’s fun and actually relevant to your life.

    Darn it Khatzumoto, you finally got me. I saw this super early, saw that it had the 2 sentence packs I’d been considering buying (my first and sci-fi), and saw that the price was great so I finally broke down and bought some of your stuff.
    Now I’m on Ajatt+ and I’m more motivated and learning Japanese at a faster pace than ever. Pretty trick of you, you sly fox you.

    Awwwww this post made me miss you. Also, I just saw this which means my withdrawal from the internet to get stuff done BACKFIRED. Stupid Timebomb. Takes me 10 days to see anything on the internet, apparently, but I’ll buy it anyway.

    Instead of a compost pail.

    I want you to know that it’s your fault that I won’t have a compost pail. NONE. Fruit flies everywhere. 😉

    p.s. since you’re still working on it, don’t forget to add material about ghosts. And murderers. I’m…. I’m sure you thought of that on your own.

    That’s a good sales tactic, is there a setting for PayPal so that with each purchase the price goes up a little? Or that the price increases over time? I was looking through my e-mail and happened to see this. The price of the pack is now $200.00
