Every new installment continues the story, and users will want to know how the story ends.
HUMAN JAPANESE TRIAL VS FULL VERSION SERIES
I think these series will engage users the most. Other series are a continuation of the same (fictional) story. Reading every article of this particular series will provide the user with all the necessary vocabulary need in real-life hotel situations. Clicking on this series displays a number of dialogues and scenarios typically encountered in a hotel: a dialogue on reserving rooms, checking out, or asking for nearby restaurant recommendations. Some series are linked by a common theme, such as Hotel. During the time I used the website I did not see a new thematic series added to the homepage, but I am under the impression that new ones are added to the website once in a while.
Every week three new articles are added to the existing series. Satori Reader currently has 21 thematic series, containing over 550 articles. Clicking on any of these series brings you to the articles it contains. I will explain the contents of these tabs in the following paragraphs.Ĭlicking on the Articles tab brings you to a home screen that reminds me of Netflix: this is were all the thematic series are displayed. The homepage of Satori Reader contains three tabs: Articles, Dashboard, and Repetition. Vocabulary encountered in the articles can be saved for later review by clicking on a single button. Satori Reader also provides a vocabulary repetition tool. Reading multiple articles in these series means that you’re getting repeated exposure to the vocabulary and grammar items, thus learning them quicker. Articles in each series are linked by their content and provide different stories and scenarios that often use the same vocabulary or grammar items. The articles in the platform are divided into thematic series. It’s also for those learners that would like to engage with longer articles or fiction stories instead of short academic texts. Satori Reader is for those learners that are too advanced for their textbooks but are not yet able to read text meant for native Japanese speakers. Satori Reader is a learning method/application that tries to bridge the gap between textbook Japanese and real-world Japanese. Why would we keep on learning a language that we would never master enough for any kind of use in the real world? The enormous gap between our textbooks and real Japanese texts can be unbelievably frustrating.
After about five minutes I often wondered if I hadn’t accidentally picked up a Chinese text. Once in a while, I would build enough confidence to open a Japanese novel or, God forbid, a newspaper. I did all my homework assignments and showed up for every class. Every day I would do my grammar exercises and practice vocabulary like a good student. When I was learning Japanese at university, I often felt close to giving up.
