Video Tutorials
Youtube videos are a great way to demonstrate some of these concepts – you can see exactly what I’m suggesting, hear pronunciation examples, etc. I intend to expand these videos substantially as we approach the book’s release in August. Expect to see a giant pile of Anki tutorials, and if the Kickstarter goes as planned, a really comprehensive set of pronunciation videos. Until then, there’s plenty to see here already. Enjoy!
