PlaySay Revisited
Posted on 01. Feb, 2010 @ 2:19 am by harvey in Culture, Gadgets, Language
You may have noticed mention of PlaySay on and off on this blog over the past year so. Recently Ryan, the head Japan-head at PlaySay, contacted me to let me know that PlaySay has really been taking off. You can read a quick article about Ryan and PlaySay on YoungUpStarts here.
Some of the major changes to PlaySay include that now they not only cover Japanese Language Proficiency Exam (JLPT) stuff, but they do Genki Textbook Vocabulary and also cover content from the Dictionary of Japanese Grammar. The products have also been updated to cover the new JLPT N1-N5 levels.
Here’s a quick video showing how the product works.
More information on the PlaySay Japanese products can be found on our PlaySay introduction page. If you’re looking for one more way to supplement your Japanese environment, check it out!
You may have noticed I was careful to say PlaySay “Japanese” products. They also do Chinese and Spanish. I’m going to take a look at the Chinese stuff 今すぐ！
Happy learning!
Harvey

It’s a good idea but I’d get annoyed at the words popping up in between songs on shuffle mode.

LOL, if you shuffle everything, true, that will happen… but that’s what playlists are for! Use smart playlists, they’re super convenient.
Another way to think of it, maybe the random Japanese vocab word will be a good way to jolt yourself back into study mode?

Hi miichan! Did you figure out how to get it? You should buy the ipod or other device separately, and buy the software from the links on our PlaySay page.

@Amanda: You could always set all these to “skip when shuffling” in the options tab.
