Heh, I think they are doing that to reserve domains for the future and to host their other language forums. Not a bad idea since domains are so cheap.

Not like Japanesepod is a big secret. There is a link to it in the sidebar.

Why start another japanesepod type of site when there is japanesepod101? I don’t really see any point.. especially since they have a huge amount of content.. Are you really going to start from scratch with new japanese lessons, praxis language style?

Well I’ll be gol-danged, Jeremy. You’re right! It DOES look very Praxis-ey. (Esp when you click on Forum and get the “praxis language” giveaway)

Last year, I think JapanesePod was being squatted on by a para-site, which is part of why they (Peter and co) added the “101″ at the end of the name.

Perhaps an acquisition? A consolidation? I mean, the current 101 has so much content already, it’d be hard for a “from scratch” site to get competitive, I think… But you never know!

Awesome thanks
If you ever decide to do a Japanese site you should call it JapaneseSensei

Hi Joey,
You’re right - SpanishSense lessons are paused while we develop the new lessons. You should be able to hear the new shows very soon…

Yup Jimmy if you click the link to Japanesepod.com it looks like a Praxis site. Which imo, would be great!

Is Spanishsense on a temporary hiatus? While the new lessons are developed?

Great site! I am in Chinese now and my professor queued up a lesson here. I am hooked!

Jeremy,

You may be thinking of http://www.Japanesepod101.com? They’re not affiliated with CPod, but they are doing the good work out there, along with their new offshoot http://www.koreanclass101.com

I’m not aware that Ken and Co have decided to go after Japanese… I had thought their next challenge was going to be German…
