Hello everyone. Recently, Comprehensible Japanese got a new website. Today, I would like to introduce our new website to everyone. This is the new website. You can watch many videos here. First, let's create an account. We will create an account. To create an account, click here. Not login, but here. Enter your email address here. After entering your email address, click here. Then you will receive an email. The email has arrived. Click here. Decide on a username. Let's go with "Yuki". Decide on a password. Check the boxes, and create the account. This username is already taken. So it cannot be used. So, let's go with this. Let's go with this. This (0220) is my birthday. Create an account. The account has been created. So, first, let's click here and open the settings. This is the settings screen. First, here, you can set a goal. You can set a daily goal for Japanese input time. How many minutes will you set? I will set it to one hour. Save. Next is the video viewing settings. These are the settings for watching videos. Here you can change the video quality. Ah, since I set the goal to 60 minutes a day earlier, this (up here) has changed to 60 minutes. Next are "Profile" settings. You can change the name here. You can change your name (as it's displayed on the site). Let's change it to "Yuki". It has been changed to "Yuki". Next is the profile image. Save the profile image. Then this part changes. Your profile image will be displayed here. Next are "Login" settings. If you want to change your email address or password, you can change them here. And then, this is the payment settings. I am currently on the free plan. Let's go to the main page for watching videos. This is the page for watching videos. There are many videos. Currently, this account is still a free account. So I cannot access all the videos. I cannot watch member-only videos. If you want to get a lot of Japanese input, click here. The current plan is a free plan. With a paid plan, you can access all the videos. You can also use various other features. There are two plans: $8 per month and $80 per year. Which one should we choose? Hmm... The $80 per year plan is more economical. It's a bit of a bargain. So I will choose this one. Click here to become a member. Register as a member of the site. $80 in Japanese currency is about 12,000 yen. Proceed to the next step. You can pay with PayPal or a credit card (and others, depending on your region and device). I will pay by card. Enter your name, expiration date, and security code, and purchase the subscription. I.e. buy. Yes, now I have registered as a member. I am now a premium member. Let's go back to the page for watching videos again. Look here. You can configure the video search results here. You can search. (repeated for clarity) For example, you can search by level. There are videos for "Complete Beginner", "Beginner", "Intermediate", and "Advanced" levels. You can also select two levels like this. Next is the topic. You can also search by video topic. For example, history-related videos, and videos about summer. These are all videos about summer. Cooking videos. "Let's Play" gaming videos. You can search by these topics. You can choose your favorite topic. You can also search by teacher. Our team currently has six teachers. You can also display only the videos you haven't watched yet, or only the videos you "liked". Free videos. Members-only videos. There are so many members-only videos. Today is August 2, 2024. Currently, there are 833 videos in total. And on this site, we post at least one new video every day. You can also change the order of the videos. You can change the display order of the videos. (reworded for clarity) For example, it is currently showing the "Newest" order. There is also "Oldest", "Shortest", "Longest", and even "Random" order. You can click here to enter a word and search. For example, if you enter "coffee," all videos that use the word "coffee" will appear. Here are the watch page settings. Let's click on it. You can enable pages, and also change the size of the thumbnails. You can make them larger or smaller. Then, if you check this, the number and duration of the videos will be displayed like this. For example, if you choose the Complete Beginner level, this changes. Also, you can create your own playlist. If you click here, this video will be added to the playlist. Let's press it. One video has been added. This video also looks interesting. Let's add this one too. In this way, you can easily create your own playlist. Let's clear the playlist. Remove [the videos]. (reworded for clarity) This time, we'll click here to create a playlist automatically. Instead of creating a playlist manually, we'll create it automatically. Watch closely. Earlier, I set my daily goal to 60 minutes, right? I set it to 60 minutes. If you click here... (^ᴗ^)ノ⌒✧*:･。. An hour-long (60-minute) playlist is automatically created. In this case, videos for advanced and intermediate levels were added. Let's clear it again. Now let's select just beginner. I want to watch beginner videos, so I'll select only beginner. Then, if you press this button to create a playlist automatically... (ᵔ▽ᵔ)☞☆ A one-hour playlist with only beginner videos has been created. This is nice, isn't it? I think it's a really great feature. Let's clear it again. This time, let's choose intermediate. Well, since it's summer now, I want to watch videos related to summer. Let's choose "summer." I want to watch videos I haven't seen yet. By pressing here, a playlist of intermediate, summer-related videos that I haven't seen yet is created. I recommend this playlist feature. Please try using it. Let's clear it and reset everything. Let's open a video page and take a look. Let's open this newest video. Here, you can not only watch the video but also read its transcript. You can practice reading. Here you can add furigana to kanji, add furigana to katakana, divide the text into short paragraphs, and change the font size to customize the transcript to your liking. Also, by pressing this button, you can print the transcript. You can also download the audio here. You can download the audio to your smartphone and listen to it while walking, working out, driving, etc. I clicked here to watch a single video, but for example, you can create a beginner video playlist and watch the videos all together. When you press here, the first video appears. When this video ends, the next video starts automatically. When this video ends, again, the next video starts. And the videos you have watched (that you have finished watching) are removed from the playlist. Now, since I watched a bit of a video, the number here has increased. Earlier it was 0, now it's 4. I've done 4 minutes of input. In this way, the time you spend studying is recorded automatically. By the way, if you click here, it takes you to the dashboard. The time you spend studying Japanese is recorded here. The time you spend watching videos on our Comprehensible Japanese website is tracked automatically. But if you study Japanese by watching YouTube, Netflix, reading books, or doing other activities outside this site, you can enter that time manually here. For example, you listened to a podcast. Today, you listened to a podcast for 20 minutes. If you save this, the time here also increases. This is the "dashboard." Also, you can read the transcript here. You can read while listening to the audio. This is the page for reading practice. You can download the audio here as well. Now, let's look at this page called "Guide." Here, we explain CI, Comprehensible Input. It also explains how to use this site. Additionally, there are frequently asked questions and answers. Please read them. Yes. So, currently everything is white, isn't it? It's bright. But if you scroll down and click on this moon mark in the bottom right, it becomes dark. It changes to "dark mode". If you click on the sun mark, it returns to the original. Now, let's look at this menu next. This is the menu. First, this is the introduction page for Comprehensible Japanese. There is English and Japanese. This is the community site. It's a community site exclusive to premium members. It's a place where members can exchange information like "How do you study Japanese?" or "What kind of videos do you like?" Also, we have voting for new features on this site. Alright, let's go back. Next, this is the CIJ Team page, which introduces the CIJ Team. Meika-sensei. Myself. Kei-sensei, Chieko-sensei, Momo-sensei, and Yoshito-sensei. And this person is the one who made this website. Ben-san (▀̿ᴗ▀̿ ̿) He is responsible for developing the site. He made this site. Next, this is the page for recommended resources. It lists YouTube channels, reading materials, and podcasts that I want to recommend to everyone. Please take a look at this page as well. So, that's all for the introduction of the new website. This is the end. We've made this wonderful site to help you with your Japanese input, so please, please use it. We would be so happy if you would use it. We will continue to add more and more videos. And we will continue to add new features, so please look forward to it. So, that's all for today. ヾ(＾∇＾)
