Hi! Just got here. I was curious how many people have been studying Japanese with textfugu. There probably is a way to check that on my own somehow but I thought I’d save myself some effort and in the same time pop me cherry in this forum. It’s like hitting 80% of the birds with 20% of the stones. Talk about productive.
I think only Koichi would hold the answer to that one…
At least 252: so many people introduced themselves…
For the pareto principle, thats what this 80:20 thing is called, is it a good guess. My guess is, that about 50 – 70% of all people introduce themselves.Pareto does work for learning and stuff, but it’s definitely no longer accurate in financial aspects. There the 99% is definitely very close to reality!
I’m curios about how many people are studying Japanese at textfugu at the moment. And also, what season they are studying at.
As far as I can tell, close to 2,000 people have Forever accounts. Monthly members fluctuate, and a fair amount eventually become Forever members anyway.
I don’t know if there’s any way to tell how many people are actively using TextFugu at any given moment, but that would be an interesting statistic.
2000! O_O
Wow! My rough estimate was around 500 members, forever and monthly combined. This place is far more popular than I ever imagined (^-^)b
As for the active members count, maybe you could count the number of page views per month for certain pages; e.g. in the beginning, middle and the end of each season. It would be interesting indeed to know those numbers.
Wow, 2000, that’s quiet some people!
Well, I forgot, the red box at the forum says, that this forum is “new”, thus my guess just covered this “new” forum period.
I’ve been using Textfugu along with a few other resources (e.g. Human Japanese for the Iphone) for a couple months now….I still only in season 1 because I’m super slow and want to master Hiragana and Katakana as early as possible. Not sure if that’s the best way to go about it short-term, but I’m happy since my goals are more long-term anyway.
I’d be curious to know what season other people are in as well ;)
My guess was minimum 1000, 10 000 at most. And that was a conservative estimate, considering the popularity of Koichi webwide and particularly in youtube. Then again, maybe I’m using old data. Anyways, thank y’all!
