About

I've studied Japanese for more than 30 years. I started in high school with a teacher who loved the language, and then learned it the long way: classes, TV, paper flashcards, and a Sharp electronic dictionary I used for years. Now I build the study help I wanted back then. I use AI to build it, and I decide how it works.
