I'm 1/2 done, so I'm going to announce something I've told literally no one but my wife: I'm writing an intermediate #Japanese textbook. This will cover the content of books like Genki II + a bit more, and builds directly off my introductory ones. I will also release it for free.

I'm not setting any hard deadlines for myself, as this is not my job, but I'm hoping to have this out by the end of the year. If this app continues to degrade, you can follow updates on my blog or on my Bl*esky account (same name & @).

I believe strongly that high quality education should be free. I don't have the power to make that change on any governmental level, but I hope this small project helps achieve this goal on some level.

You can check out the various textbooks and study materials (and non-study materials that are hopefully interesting anyways) I've produced so far on my blog:

@centenarypark No. But I didn't have any plans to write this one two years ago so who knows.

@ScriptingJapan Do you already have an idea of which JLPT level does "intermediate" comes close to? I haven't touch other courses in a long time, but the examples here are what we covered during first year of Japanology at uni, so I'm curious, how more advanced does it get at this level.

@ScriptingJapan Thank you… thank you for this! It’s been increasingly hard to find good intermediate material to follow for me, I even bought a course online that I’m trying to stick to… will patiently wait for its release 🤗
