So TextFugu still exists

[MichaelCharles]

Someone was asking for a place to learn the basics of Japanese, and I remembered that I learned the basics way back when using TextFugu. I decided to check out the website and see if it is still up.

The SSL certificate is no longer valid, but the site is still there, and you can still log in.

Lessons are still available.

And most impressively, the forum still works, with a few lonely posts from this year even!

The downloads all still work, with some working discounts for things like JapanesePod101.

Another thing surprising to me is that TextFugu is still around, but EtoEto is not!

Yah, but they’re not taking subscriptions any more. Which, to be frank, is good.

It’s good that they aren’t taking subscriptions anymore since the content isn’t ever updated…

…but the content that does exist is good. I wish they’d open up the site and make it available for free or something like that.

I learned my Japanese basics from TextFugu long ago, and I can’t recommend them to anyone due to it not being available.
