This site remains as a legacy to what once was the most effective way to learn Japanese (in my opinion anyway!).
This project was a labour of love for me between the years 2012 – 2015. Unfortunately, my research direction changed and managing this project on top of my life, work and research demands became unfeasible. I am incredibly grateful to all the students and staff that helped me make this project so successful and am glad that we have forged friendships that remain today.
To see what I am working on now, please check the journal I started (Ludic Language Pedagogy), or follow me on Twitter.
