Welcome everyone to the official Jappleng University Wiki – A
place where you can discover how to use Jappleng and learn more
about the development of this project. To help you get started, we
compartmentalized what we think you might be most interested in on
the front page, however you are free to use the drop-down menu at
the top of this wiki to peruse through our grand Wiki.
Jappleng was founded in November of 2005 as an effort to bridge
the gap between the Eastern and Western communities. It was
initially a blog regarding Japan and East-Asian culture but soon
gained traction and expanded with its own aggregated news service
called Jappleng News and community forums. While this project has
gone into dormant state (hiatus), a recent interest was taken to
bring back the project and it is what you see today, a collection
many services conveniently in one place.
Does Jappleng value Privacy?
Yes, since its inception, our goal was to not be like mega
corporations in that we would protect your privacy to the best of
our abilities and have tools provided to our users to anonymize
their data as much as possible. We will continue to expand on
technologies to provide the most out of user privacy, especially in
this day in age where privacy seemingly doesn't matter to most. To
learn more about the details of how we manage your data and our
service agreement, please visit our
⇢Legal entry.
Contacting Us
At the present time we do not have a contact form, this is
under development but slightly a bit off. If you wish to contact us
immediately, please use the forums or send a Direct Message to one
of our Global Moderators (GM)
Who are Global Moderators (GM)?
GM stands for Global Moderator. These are people with the
capacity to moderate user activity throughout the website. If you
see someone violating our
⇢Code of Conduct, causes any issues or if you have discovered
an important bug, you may submit a report from the location that
the event took place. For direct contact, please refer to
Contacting Us above this box.
If you would like to learn Japanese or about
the Japanese culture, the Jappleng Education section is going to be
the place for you. There is an ever increasing amount of lessons
added to this section with over a hundred lessons currently.
Learning Japanese has never been easier!
Explore the
nation that you care from the comfort of your chair. With Japan
Life! you are free to explore the many things that make Japan so
interesting and we look forward to hearing your feedback on what to
explore next.
We actively
developing a Japanese dictionary that is linked to what you know
about the Japanese language. Keep track on the words you know,
sorta know, and be quizzed on them. The Jappleng Dictionary is far
more than just an ordinary English to Japanese dictionary, it's an
interactive system that gives you better tools for your
studies.
Create, join and
improve existing clubs. Club Jappleng is the place for those
wanting to explore a more diverse side of Japan and Asian cultures.
Discover a club about the lovely Koi, or hiking in Japan. Perhaps
you prefer Japanese archery or a particular J-Pop group. Whatever
your interest is, Club Jappleng has your back.
The Jappleng
Spot or J-Spot Social Network is an exciting online platform
created exclusively to connect users around the world, sharing
their passion about Japan or perhaps other cultures through the
Pen-Pal system. J-Spot Social supports many features which big
platforms do but also supports features uniquely tailored for this
type of community.
Our community
forums are divided into two parts. The first part is our main
forums which are managed by officials at Jappleng University, while
the other forums are maintained by Club owners. It's a more
traditional way to interact with other people, but unlike a social
network, its design is intended to prolong discussions rather than
gratification.
IMChat
Expressions!
Chat with fellow
Japanese and Anime enthusiasts around the world with IMChat
Expressions! This chat application was developed with our members
in mind delivering a powerful chat application that makes it fun to
use. People are free to use the officially created channels, club
channels, Direct Messaging which also supports over a hundred users
per group, share and watch/listen together music and videos, draw
together, play roleplaying games, learn together and so much more.
Yep, we weren't kidding when we said this was specifically designed
for this community.
Jappleng Arcades
Play games on
Jappleng to level up, earn coins and get better at Japanese! Our

J-Blogs

with J-Blogs by using it as either a private diary or a public
outlet for your voice. Whatever you wish to talk about in your
J-Blogs is up to you.
News in Japan - Jappleng
News!
News in Japan or
commonly known as Jappleng News is under revisional development,
meaning it is no longer accessible however the legacy content can
still be found within the Jappleng search system as it is archived
as a regular article. Formally news articles were submitted by our
members and voted on. This section will return once the demand is
found for it again.
Sticker
Collection
There are many
ways to unlock stickers such as completing Achievements, exchanging
J-Coins or Event Tokens in the Jappleng Market, Game Rewards and so
on. Stickers aren't just a collectable, they also have built-in
community features. For instance, the Magic 8-Ball unlocks the
Oracle feature. Clicking on a sticker will provide a secret
interaction. For more details about stickers and how to unlock
them, visit the Sticker Collection wiki page.
Achievements
Complete various objectives to earn achievements. Each
achievement has its own reward giving more motivation to complete
them.
Notice: Achievements
are currently disabled and will return shortly after the completion
of the new notification system as they are tied in
together.
Coming
Soon:
Jappleng Mobile
App for iOS,
Android and Smart TVTBD
Jappleng Membership
Membership is free of charge and anyone around the world can
become a member given they are not from a blocked country. Certain
countries due to the amount of harassment and spam that comes from
there are blocked for quality assurance and security. Presently
only Mainland China is blocked but we do permit VPN access to the
site for those willing to abide by our rules and Terms of
Service.
How Jappleng generates income
Jappleng has been free to use with zero advertisements since its
first release in 2006 and continues to strive to provide as much as
possible for our users. However, due to economic uncertainty and
also the high cost of maintaining the website, income becomes ever
more important particularly when we wish to hire experts in the
field to create content that isn't just based on research we find
in books. While we would greatly appreciate volunteers we know this
isn't likely and as a result we will seek for financial aid from
our members in a voluntary form in the future.
Premium tokens will be obtainable and then exchanged for various
goods around the Jappleng Market such as exchanging for Boosters,
J-Coins, premium unlockables such as avatar covers and so on. It
would be similar to gofundme but you would be rewarded for helping
this project grow. We could paywall this project including all our
current and future lessons but that isn't the goal set for this
project. Please consider voluntarily supporting us when this
becomes possible.
