News Report: What to expect in 2017 for Jappleng
Notice: This is an archived news article published by a member of the site and not our staff.
The layout and functionality of this page will likely be broken.
Sorry for the inconvenience!

What to expect in 2017 for Jappleng
If you haven’t caught up with what happened in 2016 yet, take a look at our previous editorial “2016 Year-end Review” but for those who want to get straight to the point, 2016 was the year that Jappleng was created and done. 2017 on the other hand is all about content and attracting members. Here’s what the new year may look like.

Jappleng as a Company
We waited a few months for tax reasons to register Jappleng as a company. While we will be going under a publication name rather than Jappleng itself, we will be able to start earning income through various services so that we can hire more staff, and make Jappleng even bigger and better than ever! Don’t worry, Jappleng will remain free :D We plan on working on TV shows, textbooks, and other fun things which will power Jappleng. Other nice premium things will come in time but we’ll just leave it at that for now.

Completion of JPLearn!
JPLearn! Chapter 1 is completed, Chpater 2 will be completed within the first two weeks of January 2017. Chapter 3 and 4 will come shortly afterwards and any additional chapters that are needed will also be written in 2017. Mini-lessons will also have many new lessons and hopefully we’ll exceed 150 lessons next year.

Lots of new Cultural / Travel / Immigration editorials
2017 is all about content, we will be working on new cultural, travel, and immigration related editorials. If you love any of those, you’ll be in for a surprise! We plan to have over 100 cultural / Travel / Immigration editorials this year and if we can have enough income for more staff, expect a lot more.

New Staff!
I’ll admit, working my myself is not just lonely but it’s overwhelming. There’s too much to do and with a site as big as Jappleng, it’s too big to handle on my own. I tried recruiting a few times before but the response was always the same, they needed to see Jappleng in action before committing.  Now that Jappleng is respectively completed, it’s time to recruit a new member or two to the family. I hope to find someone within the next few weeks in January and already I’ve gotten some pretty good candidates lined up.

Exclusive Video Content!
Jappleng will be getting its own video series and they will be made available on YouTube free of charge! See, this is where the new staff members come in (and why they need to be Japanese).  While I won’t go into detail on what these video series will be, they will be very informative and high quality!  One of our series is expected to be full-length episodes (23-minutes-ish) with full production like what you would see on TV. We’ll be getting some professional help for this and it will be loads of fun! Expect to get an announcement about at least one video series sometime in February 2017.

Club Jappleng and J-Blogs
First order of business is to complete Jappleng’s existing features and make sure that Club Jappleng and J-Blogs are ready to go. We believe that Club Jappleng at the very least will be a big reason why people will come to Jappleng. Expect Club Jappleng to be available in January and J-Blogs shortly after.

Textbooks, Guides, and other Publications
Later in the year we will be developing various publications and working with a publication company.  What these publications will be depends entirely on what the publication company will allow but we have many ideas and concepts and we’re excited to tackle this on towards mid-year.

Year 1 Proving Grounds for Teachers and Tutors
2017 will prove whether or not we can do what we claim to do and we will do our very best to include as many fully functional features that can be used with just about any device available. This includes student trackers (grades for example), where students succeed and struggle, and many other features that will make Jappleng’s LMS unique.  Hopefully, this will be enough to convince teachers and school districts to use our system.

Getting the world involved with Jappleng!

Teachers using our system to create new courses is one thing, but attracting tens of thousands and perhaps even millions of people worldwide is going to be a challenge. We hope to use 2017 to attract at least 250,000 new members to our site. Yes, that’s a quarter million members and our goals match what we will provide. Starting January, we will be advertising and spreading the word out to everyone and we hope you do too! We’ll include many new features so that it’s much easier to share pages that you like, tell the world that you’ve completed a certain lesson (if you wish), and make it even easier to register for an account. We’re doing it all this year, in 2017!

\"But wait, there’s more!\"
There are so many other features, content, and things to come in 2017 but we want to keep a bulk of it a surprise for you all. Make sure you login every day (to get your daily bonus starting January 9) and stay up to date with the happenings around Jappleng, the Jappleng community, Japan, and your personal study track. 2017 will be amazing!
Once again, this page is from a old section called News in Japan which hasn't been a thing since about 2016. But Jappleng has a lot more to offer such as:
- Entertainment section for Anime lineup, news, reviews and more (over 14,000 anime titles!)
- Education section to learn Japanese and about Japan for free
- Club Jappleng to create and join fan clubs, study groups etc...
- Travel Guides to learn more about Japan, immigration and tourist attractions
- Community forums, dedicated chat system, J-Spot social network
- Japanese practice games and other fun stuff like Yokai Trainers
- Massive Japanese <> English dictionary with over 500,000 words
- Achievements, unlockables and more!

We're really big with over 10-million pages! This is a volunteer / free project so please consider Registering an account and being part of our awesome community!
