Yeah, a yearly memberhsip will be better than monthly and hopefully work out cheaper too. Also, the nice thing about having a forever membership aside from not having to worry about payments again, is the option to log on whenever you want to refer back to things.

With a monthly or yearly membership, you may decide to cancel once you’ve finished everything and don’t feel it’s worth continue to pay money if you won’t be on the site much.

Just read some of the comments on the WaniKani article on Tofugu, and Koichi says there will be a yearly and monthly membership choice on offer. I’d still prefer it if there is a forever option like there is here on TF though.

I took out a lifetime Gakuu membership last year around the same time the 80% off deal started. Fortunately the deal is still ongoing for those who haven’t taken out a lifetime membership there yet. I’m still going through TextFugu at the moment so won’t be using Gakuu just yet.

From what I have seen when I’ve logged on, it’s a nice site. It’s more geared towards advanced learners of Japanese. It’s similar to TF in some ways, but I think Michael (the owner) is still in the process of trying to make a textbook out of all the lessons. The forum isn’t that active but I have seen a few TF members post there. All the lessons are checked by native Japanese people too.

I reckon it’s worth taking out a lifetime membership as it’s so cheap, and the site will no doubt grow bigger like TF has. If it ends up not being for you, then you won’t feel that you’ve wasted too much money.

Hello and welcome to TF :)

Nick is correct, me and isocracy are also from the UK. I live in West Sussex. Iso lives in East Sussex.

Hello and welcome to TF :)

Hello Hikaru. Welcome to TF :). All the best with learning Japanese.

I’d love to learn both Mandarin and Cantonese. Cantonese sounds harder as there’s more tones. Where abouts are you from?
