Keep ’em 来るing 😉

Well done Khatz, you’ve earned my money again 🙂

I enjoyed your QRG video. It gave a lot of further background to some of your thoughts. My only question is: What is with the grammar sentence cards during the bilingual phase?

Yeah I have seen that vid. I was just hoping he might make some more regularly, just chatting about Japan and language learning and whatnot. Casual and rambling. Hikosaemon’s vids are awesome!

Maybe one time you could do a colab? The video you did with tokyosam was so good because you had this kinda question and answer thing goin on. If you can find someone who will work for free, might be an idea 😉

Anyways to sum up I’d just say awesome video, but music needs variety. Still, well worth the dosh

I agree, Japanese and English subs would be prime (like Hikosaemon does). Japanese for the learners and English for those just checking out the site. Come on Khatz, let’s see some more videos! At the very least, it would prove your method works well. 😉

Anyway, it’s a fun video. Didn’t mind the music at all.

Very funny stuff. All serious and the BAM!–raisins.

Or maybe this could be a next addition to your “product line”? 😀 Either way, the folks at YouTube definitely want more vids from you, provided you can find the time and can be bothered, it seems like a really good idea!

I suppose I could just Swiss Cheese it, just like your reading method 😛

Also, as Elliot rightly mentions, possibly having some ability to divide the video into chapters so you can listen to a certain ‘phase’ again for clarification would be really helpful. Overall, the spontaneity of the video was really nice and come to think of it, it really came across as more of a conversation than a presentation which made listening to it, at least for me, a whole lot more enjoyable for the 80 odd minutes it lasts. Really, well done!

I am really stoked to get your presentation and video supplement to your QRG, but like this site, there’s a lot of good (great even) info, but it’s packed a little densely and as you recommend with reading, it’s nice to skip around and “go at your own pace.” I think if you broke the portions into identifiable segments of between 2 to 5, to possibly even 10 minutes in each topic/area with some noticeable video transitions (even cheesy “STEP 2” or “Stage 4: sentences part 1- how to begin” black screens with white letters or something) it would really help break up the monotony of 81 minutes.

Secondly, music… perhaps I’ve been gearing/geared up with lots of princeton review and Barron review videos for GRE testing and whatnot, but having some peppy synthy/jazz-pop music in the back ground that is lower in volume, but also helpful in supplementing energy into your segments it would keep things going.

Now with that criticism, Khatz, really, you’re doing a great job and I’ve appreciated your work and thoughts on language study! To mention one of my favorite PD people, Stephen Covey, don’t forget to take care of your productivity tools and rest up and take’em in for a sharpening =]

All the best,
El

It was rather amusing how you’d crack a joke or something, I’d expect you to laugh and you wouldn’t. Then suddenly moments later you’d burst out laughing. Hilarious.

Anyway, yeah, good video. I’ve already read the site numerous times, but what the hey!
