	Greetings! Mind if I add you as a friend? :) ~hikari(notrealname), Japan

	Hola Spanz, etto ne, veo que no soy la única que su antivirus(Avast) le marca que hay virus jeje.. ¿Es peligroso? o_o
	spanz August 11, 2010, 4:44 am Supongo que no. De hecho, no creo que sea un virus. Seguramente será que el AV detecta alguna recogida de estadísticas o algo que le parece propio de software espía. Yo no me preocuparía mientras no haya otros antivirus que opinen lo mismo. Podría ser que tras la siguiente actualización del AVAST desaparezca la detección. Después de todo, el sistema publicitario de esta página se usa en otras muchas páginas por todo el mundo, así que seguro que la gente de AVAST ha recibido ya cientos de miles de quejas. La compañía que distribuye la publicidad no se puede permitir que un antivirus les rompa el negocio, así que tranquila... Roblian August 11, 2010, 12:06 pm ok!! Gracias =D

	Roblian August 10, 2010, 8:27 am
	Listo, ya corregí las fotos que mencionaste. De todas maneras, las otra también las subiré de nuevo, pero por lo pronto ya están listas esas. (debo seguirle con mi trabajo xD) Saludos!

	Gracias spanz ya pude escuchar los sonidos, soy nueva por aqui jeje Saludos desde México!
	spanz August 10, 2010, 12:57 am De nada. Estamos aquí para ayudar. ¡Bienvenida!

	hola SOy Nv4 m PdES ayUdar a EnTeNdER lA pAG ??? :)
	spanz July 24, 2010, 5:24 pm Bienvenida. Para empezar, debes tener soporte Japonés instalado en tu ordenador. Sería muy interesante que no sólo pudieras ver los caracteres japoneses, sino también escribirlos, así que deberías tener instalado un IME. Vuelve a preguntar si no entiendes nada. En cuanto a la página, necesitas estar familiarizada con los silabarios Hiragana y Katakana. Tienes unas tablas reducidas en la página de lecciones, pero Internet está llena de tablas completas. Es imprescindible que te las aprendas. Sin ellas, no podrás saber cómo se pronuncian las palabras. Intenta evitar el romaji (escritura con caracteres latinos) todo lo posible. Una vez aprendidos los silabarios, el orden normal sería ir a la página de lecciones y estudiarte el contenido de las lecciones de Vocabulario y Kanji. Puedes estudiarlas a la vez. Los Kanji son más difíciles para todo el mundo pero son necesarios y no es bueno quedarse atrás estudiando sólo vocabulario. Cuando creas que te sabes una lección, puedes pasar el test correspondiente. Una vez acabadas las lecciones de un nivel, debes ir a la página de práctica y empezar a probar tus conocimientos. Los exámenes de cada lección te dan puntos, pero las prácticas te dan muchos más. Y si consigues encadenar muchas respuestas correctas, ganarás muchos puntos extra. Cuando tengas suficientes puntos, avanzarás de nivel y podrás acceder a lecciones, tests y prácticas más avanzadas. De momento tenemos sólo 5 niveles, pero la página evoluciona constantemente, así que no sabemos cuántos habrá. Y esto sería lo básico. Verás que hay usuarios que no terminan los exámenes de los niveles según van avanzando. Esto es porque los exámenes no son necesarios para pasar de nivel. Es suficiente con los puntos, y la manera más rápida de conseguirlos es practicar. Por supuesto, esto no es lo más lógico ni lo mejor. No deberías hacer prácticas mientras no hayas pasado los tests de cada nivel. Espero que esto te sirva de guía. La página tiene unas cuantas opciones más, pero lo básico es: Lección-Test-Lección-Test...Práctica-Práctica-Práctica... ¡Suerte! Y no escribas así, por favor. :P

	Hello, How come you are using the same picture as elmo http://japaneseclass.jp/user/statistics/11088 is it a bug or ...? Thank you, bn
	spanz June 19, 2010, 1:09 am No, I think it's not a bug. And it's not the same picture (the size and aspect ratio are slighty different, because I shrank the huge original one by myself). I guess it's an incredible coincidence. Which one was uploaded first? Anyway, I'll change it when I find something better, so don't worry. beeant June 19, 2010, 2:20 am hahaha ya! what a coincidence! elmo just registered about yesterday. so maybe u are the first

	Hey there! I see you finished the Smart.fm list I started, thank you! I meant to finish it sooner :P I'm surprised you did it so fast, Good work! So do you have an account on smart.fm then? I just found out about it, it's great (Although I still have my loyalties to JCJP, which is why I was making a list to review Core 2000 on here since I love this site's simpler layout ;) If you have an account on there I'll follow ya :D Thanks again!
	View all comments (5) spanz May 2, 2010, 5:04 pm No, you don't need a smart.fm account in order to be able to capture whatever goal's contents you want. And you can see also the smart.fm user's comments complaining about the difficulty of the goal. I just thought that if people think the goal is so difficult, it had to be interesting. In fact, that list seems overwhelming hard for me. I'm not a politician nor businessman/woman... Hahaha! I'm a spy, but don't tell it to anyone! I've asked beeant several times to change my Note ownership to you, but he's very busy (JCJP has a new server to play/fight with). Let me explain it: I can automate much of the process to upload the list, so it's not hard work for me. And the idea was yours, so you deserve the merit. And I can't stand still while you are suffering typing such a huge list (prone to errors, too!). I only typed one thing, and I'm not sure if it was a good idea (I guess not): よい良い I know this is usually written using the Kana, but the Kanji do exists, and we have a Kanji field to fill, so I typed the Kanji. (In the other cases, I just repeated the Kana) Maybe we need an auxiliary field to comment things like "use Kana only". What do you think, must I delete the Kanji? What do you think of uploading the whole Core 2000 series? Is it worth it? (Of course, with the previous approbation from beeant!) StonerPenguin May 4, 2010, 1:05 am Your secret is safe with me, secret spy spanz!:D Thank you for helping with your automated process, that's really handy ;) If you want to do the whole Core 2000 series, go ahead. Although keep in mind that the core series is based on the top 2000 words used in Japanese newspapers, so that's why the vocab for even the basic levels is so odd and not too useful for a beginner. But I'm planning on taking the JLPT and the Japanese DLPT this year so being able to read Japanese newspapers about stock prices and scandals and other business-y things might be pretty helpful. Smart.fm has another goal series called "Intermediate Japanese" AKA 'Core 6000' because it starts where Core 2000 left off, teaching the next top 4,000 words used in Japanese news papers to amount to 6,000 words total. And I know that a LOT to study but supposedly by the end of it you should be able to understand most written news articles. I leave it up to you, but I suppose any decision can wait until beeantさん implements a quiz feature (poor beeant, he does so much! D': I'm such a selfish poo for my requests...) About the credit and ownership thing, it's very nice that you'd want to give me credit, but that really isn't necessary, I'm just glad it's up. :) besides, your list is so nice and neat, I wouldn't change a thing. And I don't think deleting the kanji for 良い is needed, it's handy to know, and knowledge is power! (I couldn't resist, sorry :P ) There's been a few times where I've seen things usually written in kana alone written in kanji and it's really messed me up (when playing Japanese learning games or practice tests), like seeing 未だ instead of まだ. Knowing the kanji for these words can only make us better prepared! So it's all good ;) Oh dear, this is long... haha spanz May 4, 2010, 5:33 am I forgot to mention I changed also a little thing (or not so little) in the Core2000 Note: I changed [Adjectival Noun] to [na-adj], and [Verbal Noun] to [suru-verb]. Perhaps that's not a big deal (I don't like calling them "Noun" very much), but that's what they are called in the smart.fm site. What do you prefer? I'm pretty sure they're equivalent names (for example, you used the suru-verb form in your note), but maybe we're wrong... And a cosmetic detail: I changed also the commas (,) to slashes (/) in order to avoid possible problems with my field separator (that's because I use a temporary comma-separated-values file format). Today, I've tested some fields including commas, and there's no problem at all, so I can revert all the slashes to commas again. Yes, I think it's better to wait for beeant. Oh, my! Core 6000? That's a really BIG vocabulary! I know some people with waaay smaller vocabulary in their own mother tongue. Do you plan to learn all the Core 6000 list? You're awesome! Good luck! What's "follow someone" in smart.fm? StonerPenguin May 5, 2010, 8:58 am I actually really prefer the names you gave, a lot of Japanese dictionary sites call な-adjectives 'adjectival nouns' and it bugged the heck out of cuz I had no idea what they meant by it! It took me a long time to figure out that's what they were calling な-adjectives... and I don't like 'verbal noun' either. Whether or not the terms you and I chose are technically correct or not doesn't really matter; I think most students of Japanese will know what we mean. (I mean 'suru-verb' is hell of a lot clearer than 'verbal noun', that's for sure...) Also, the slashes are just fine, like I said before, your list is very nice and neat. I like your use of brackets ([]) too, very nice :) Overall, it's very eye-pleasing, so don't worry, you did good work. When you following someone on smart.fm you can track their progress, give them 'high fives' and comments and stuff, and they're placed in your friends list. It's kinda silly, I know haha. And yeah! 6000 words! I'm gonna cram my brains full 'til there's no room left! MUWAHAHA!! spanz May 6, 2010, 4:29 am Thank you, I think I'll keep the note format as is. Haha, you're funny! Good luck with your brains! By the way, you have a perfect challenge score! すごい！ StonerPenguin May 9, 2010, 10:00 am Just a three second gap in our times! Good game :) And you know I think you're funny too bby~ hehehe Thank you for doing list 4 of Core 2000. By the way, I'm sorry I didn't respond sooner- I was afraid of responding back and forth too much, never-ending :O but it seemed kinda rude to not reply back haha :P Best of luck with your studies and brains too! You're still number 3 on the Challenge ranking 上手だ～！ spanz May 10, 2010, 12:53 am You're right. This is going to last forever, so consider this closed, but not before some more compliments: You're better & funnier than I am. Mwahaha! You can't reply now!

	hansolo April 20, 2010, 8:56 pm
	thanks very much for your message i didn't count the hours required to achieve it, i just know it was a lot of time ^_^ I try to focus more on the vocabulary because for me it is more important to have a good level in conversation instead of reading and writing it ^^ but i will soon try to improve this as well...

	StonerPenguin April 19, 2010, 11:03 am
	Hey there! Sorry about those tags :P It was my first time and I guess I got a little sloppy on it. I read that you said that only the tag gets used in photo practice, what is photo practice? I don't see any quiz like there is for videos... :/ I didn't know that there was some quiz thing where you only saw the tag of the picture O: Yeah, I agree it'd be really hard to tell what any of my tags were if you just saw those parts of the picture. I deleted the bad tags, the only ones I left were the glove and eyes ones. :) BTW, lol @ beeant being mildseven, how did you figure that out? And thank you for the compliment =D I think you;re nice and fun too, thank you for helping out JCJP, you're super cool bro. ;) (If you're a girl I apologize haha) Keep up the good work, thank you for informing me about the tags.
	StonerPenguin April 20, 2010, 9:18 am BTW I'm creeping up on ya! I'm lucky number 13 now =3

	furanku March 12, 2010, 7:39 pm
	hi spanz , i found wrong tag or bug when i was taking picture practise and it got 2 correct answer 1 with katakana , the other 1 using Kanji. here's the link http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/2706/bugorwrongtag.png
	View all comments (2) spanz March 13, 2010, 2:06 am Thank you for the report! Yes, that's a double bug. Lucky you! XD First, the question is not related to the photo. That happens when you answer too quickly. The current JCJP server is not very fast and some of the photos are huge and need to be scaled, so if you answer the questions before the related images are completely loaded, the photos keep accumulating and sooner or later a delayed image shows in a wrong place. It depends on the photo size. Beeant-san is aware of it, but it's a difficult problem to solve. Besides changing the server (the boss wants to use the donations to pay for a better server), there's some possible fixes, all of them hard to implement. I think this problem has not high priority right now. The second problem is also known: the repeated option. In your case, there's two possible correct tags, one in Katakana and one in Kanji. I've seen this very same problem with identical options, and there's even a possibility that the four options can be repeated. Some of the repeated tags can be: Butterfly, eye, cloud, building... There's nothing wrong with the tags, as they come from different photos. The problem is that there's a relation between the chosen photo and its tag, but the wrong options are selected at random. As it is now, the system can chose a photo and a tag, and then three random tags from other photos. If one of the wrong tags (or two or three) is identical to the good one, we have a problem. Only the one from the photo is the correct one, and you can't tell it apart. I reported this to the Boss some time ago, but it's not fixed yet. :( There's nothing we can do about it. I guess it's in the TO DO list. furanku March 19, 2010, 6:12 am aw, i dont really know about the technical problem but i hope it can be solved soon , since my IT knowledge only limited to C++ furanku March 19, 2010, 6:12 am anyway thanks for the respon, that was clear explanation spanz March 21, 2010, 2:08 am Same as me. I use only C/C++.

	beeant March 9, 2010, 2:55 am
	You are from Spain, the place of birth of Pablo Picasso, so I trust your artistic sense ;)
	View all comments (4) spanz March 9, 2010, 4:08 am I'm honored, but If I had artistic sense, I'll erase your whole photo of the trash bins. You know, the pink bin is not enough sexy for me. XD Well, I think I'll simply take some photo quizzes taking notes and I'll see what should be erased. I think the main problem is just the size. I have to leave now. Maybe tomorrow I will begin to upset users. Sorry guys and girls! Gituska March 9, 2010, 9:24 am Hehe, Big Boss believes in cubism! People developed the rondo-cubism in my country. Then they managed to build the rounded cubism-buidings in that style... spanz March 10, 2010, 12:07 am Yes, all those rounded buttons here are clearly rondo-cubism, and the trash bins photo is rondo-cubins... Hahaha! Sorry! Hey, even Beeant's avatar is a cube! beeant March 10, 2010, 12:12 am haha, what is wrong with my rubbish bin photo? why do you hate it so much >< picasso didnt only paint cubism, he also painted realism paintings, wasn't he? spanz March 10, 2010, 2:27 am It's not your rubbish bin photo. It's your cubbish bin photo. Nah, I love it, but that photo is perfect to make silly jokes. And yes, Picasso painted realism, too, although he's not famous for it. Gituska March 13, 2010, 7:52 am cubbish bin photo :DDD I like Picasso too, such a great variety of his works.

	beeant March 9, 2010, 2:53 am
	Quick Guide: - Delete non sense tags such as tag that doesn't give a clear idea of the tagged vocabulary. (small pic is OK as long as it still make some sense) - Same/similar tagged vocabulary is allowable as long as both pics have some sense of art. - Think twice before deleting the tags that have some sense of 'eye candy' or artistic feel. Basically, I just want it too look nice in the photo practice page (Make Sense, Eye Candy, Artistic, Sexy) Thank You, bn
	spanz March 9, 2010, 3:53 am What about colors? Those plain filled rectangles cropped from colored surfaces, have they sense of art? And written signs? The associated word is the same you see in the photo, so they have not graphic value, have they? beeant March 9, 2010, 4:11 am I will leave that to you. Honestly I'm also confused about that haha. I think if the associated words is good just leave as it is for now. but if the words too small and doesnt look that good, then just DELETE it. i think tagged vocabulary that means color is fine with just plain filled rectangles. but plain rectangles that doesnt show anything is non sense. I think you have to know that one of the purposes of the Photo Practice is for entertainment. "Enjoy Browsing Photos, while Learning Japanese". of course those small rectangles (even color vocabulary), associated words picture, doesnt look really good, we wont enjoy looking at those kind of images. but for now I think we dont to be too severe on deleting tags, we also need some tags to fill in the Photo Practice. After more tags have been added, we will do more severe clean up.

	beeant March 9, 2010, 2:45 am
	Hello spanz, I just want to tell you that you are now a moderator in JCJP. you have the right to delete Vocabulary tags in Photo Pages. よろしくお願いします bn
	spanz March 9, 2010, 3:47 am Ugh! Moderator sounds too severe and strict. Can't you name it in a more light and sweet way? Something like Avenger, Punisher, Angel of Wrath... XD

	beeant February 25, 2010, 4:17 am
	Hello spanz, long time no talk, I have been not so active these days. I still have your emails, don't worry, I just want to read your email with full concentration haha. Anyway, just a simple request, since I think that you care about the quality of this site's content, and had been participated a lot on JCJP improvements, I would need more of your help =(... If you are interested, I want to make you to become a moderator. You just need to delete some photo tags, video vocabularies, etc (maybe more in the future, because I have to make some features for moderators also) I can trust your taste on choosing the good tags, and video vocabularies. if you are interested, please tell me. Thank You, bn
	spanz February 26, 2010, 2:02 am 喜んで！ Lately, I've been kind of busy (Japanese unrelated stuff). In some days, I'll have more free time, so don't worry. Besides, switching activities can be refreshing, and a little cleaning here and there won't take too much time. Tell me what you want me to do!

	beeant February 9, 2010, 12:39 am
	ooh I know now, you are using proxy!? haha sorry
	spanz February 9, 2010, 2:01 am As Laura can't see the videos, I was just testing a random proxy to see if the videos can still be accessed through it. Maybe she can watch the videos this way.

	beeant February 9, 2010, 12:37 am
	how come your location is Japan? are you in Japan? or it is a hack? =D
	spanz February 9, 2010, 2:03 am I wish I were there, but I'm not.

	Darknaviexe January 30, 2010, 3:52 am
	I can learn kanji with ease, but distinguishing and remembering them are a problem, forcing me to use kana until a later time.
	spanz January 30, 2010, 5:58 pm Well, 'till now, you are not writing with a brush, are you? That would require you to know what you are writing. If you know the Kana reading of a Kanji, you can let the IME convert it into Kanji for you (just push the space bar!). If there's more than one choice (likely), you can often guess wich one you want. And if you can't, just choose one and check it later for correctness. That's not so difficult, and it's useful as training for recognizing Kanji, too.

	Darknaviexe January 28, 2010, 6:24 am
	Real nice! Kanji only challenges!? Kanji is my weakness! You are on!!
	View all comments (2) spanz January 28, 2010, 6:44 am Hahaha... don't complain, you started the war! Darknaviexe January 28, 2010, 6:52 am ...Let the war continue. It only means we both will side with different groups here. I can gain kanji experience while continuing to challenge you... Besides, it only means I will reach a higher rank... spanz January 28, 2010, 6:55 am How are you going to reach a higher rank with only draws? They don't count, you know... Darknaviexe January 28, 2010, 6:58 am Easy. I am still gaining experience. Besides, I will have to win...eventually...echoes

	beeant January 19, 2010, 5:54 pm
	Ok, actually its like chosen photos (synonym). Does this make more sense? Thank you so much for translating =D
