There's a tremendous amount of things to
do on Jappleng and it's hard to really go through and explain it
all in a short post. However I have confidence I can at the very
least get you started.
What do you do on
Jappleng?
The purpose of Jappleng is to bridge Japan and the rest of the
world together. Meaning it's a place to learn about Japan, the
Japanese Language, getting and giving Career advice, Pen-Pal /
Language exchange, creating and joining clubs whether they are for
studies or personal interests, meeting new people by various means
including a comprehensive interest based friend finder, and let me
take a breather.... ....and it's a place where you can socialize
with others using the exclusive J-Spot Social Network, online chat
called IMChat or IMC, there are forums, wiki, calendar, polls,
image galleries, marketboard to use your hard earend J-Coins from
completing lessons, posting on the site, logging in every day and
mind you there is also a daily login bonus, there are achievements,
practice apps (games) and so much more! Eventually there will also
be a pet raising system which will help you learn Japanese so your
pet will grow as you grow! And that's all just scratching the
surface.... In fact a lot of other sections including News in
Japan, Entertainment, Travel, etc... have been created but disabled
because Jappleng was simply too big!
Okay, that's a lot of stuff, but
how do I navigate?
Jappleng supports PC, Mac, Tablets and Smartphones with really
poor resolution all the way up to 8K+ displays. If you encounter
anything that may look or act strange, please post it in the
support forum. With that said, Jappleng resizes itself
automatically to fit your screen however the screen size. See, grow
and shrink your screen, it has 3 Modes. PC, Tablet, Mobile. Each
has their own appearance and so navigating the site is a bit
different on each device.
Namely, you will have a Main Navigation at the top of the
website, presently it may appear a dark color with the words
Learn! | Discover | Community | Fun |
with your avatar to the right side of the screen. Hovering or
clicking on those menu items will bring down a menu corresponding
to said topic. You can browse through different parts of the
website from there.
If you hover or click on your avatar, a different kind of menu
will appear which is reserved for your own things like
Settings, Dashboard, Themes, Dark Mode,
Logout, etc...
I want to Learn Japanese, where
do I begin?
You will need to enroll in a desired course because of the
personal tracking features included in our Learning Management
System. For instance JPLearn! is a great place to begin learning
Japanese as these lessons were written considering the student
knows nothing about the Japanese language. There are various
different ways you can browse through our course selections.
Presently, all of our lessons are Free.
An explanation about how Homework / Assignments work is given
in detail in the JPLearn! course.
Is there a quick list of links
to different community sections?
To access the online chat, you
will need to access it via your menu under the Community tab since
it is not a page on its own.
There's more to explore! Please go around and see what you can
find, exploring is part of the fun
Can I share Jappleng with all my
friends?
Absolutely! Tell everyone you think who would enjoy this
because this project took a very, very long time to build from the
ground-up by myself. ( ´∀｀)ノ～ ♡
How does Jappleng
Money?
It's a hobby project and no money is being made, not even with
ads. Maybe something will change one day but for now I'm generously
donating my time and resources to keep this project alive. It makes
me happy to see people enjoy using this project.
Is there a mobile
App?
Not yet! This is a planned feature to arrive sometime in 2020
but Jappleng just made itself available to the full public in
mid-December 2019. With that said, bugs need to be fixed first and
then Mobile support is top priority!
Good luck and have fun!
