June's contest is the sister of May's contest: what do you like the most about the site? How has it helped you, or what has it allowed you to do?
1. No more than 2-3 sentences (1-2 is ideal).
2. Write it as if you are talking to someone who has never used the site before.
3. All entries will be considered for usage as testimonials on a future version of the site's introduction page.
All entires that I deem acceptable for use as testimonials (I doubt there will be many that do not fall into this category) will be entered into a drawing. Three users (randomly selected) will each win a month of renshuu pro!
You can enter up to 3 times. Please, one entry per post.
I love the wide variety of ways to use Renshuu: it's not just an aid for rote memorization, there's a lot of opening for using Japanese creatively (Grammar pages, Let's Play), and there's a lot of opportunity for interaction with a great community of users who are available for language help, support, and encouragement.
I like the most about the site is the quick response (and fixes!) from the admin after I have reported a problem (during quizzing) or have any issues with the site.
In addition, I love the simplicity of the site (it says what it does). It helps me to focus on what I want to study, and the "Achievement hankoes" really motivate me to study continuously (i.e. becoming a habit).
This website is wonderful at helping me to refresh my memory. Sometimes you don't see a word or phrase often enough. That's what I use the quizzes here for. To help reinforce what I know I've learned before, but feel I'm a bit shaky on.
Renshuu is my favourite out of all the online Japanese learning resources I've tried. It integrates the materials of the common self-study and classroom textbooks and the JLPT, and is a perfect complement to my language classes.
[color=orange][font=times new roman]I love that Renshuu is constantly updating, keeps me studying, is easy to use, there's no need to download anything and most important of all...it's FREE![/font][/color]
Strong motivation through contest-like environment and partial prizes/awards. Each user can decide what they want to study, and in which order to match different coursebooks and learning styles.
