Dev updates

NativShark had some infrastructure upgrades! The site should feel more stable, and you might find Review Sets in particular to be faster to load.

There were also some stability updates that addressed issues some students had with submitting answers in their core studies. That should be smoother now for those who were affected

Japanese with Niko

Niko released a 2-hour-long video about the history of Japan with 116 real locations that you can go and visit during your next trip around Japan

Be sure to check it out!

Ty's Take

Ty released a video about escaping the beginner's loop and avoiding burning out in our Japanese studies

Hope you find it helpful!

Thanks for studying with us & checking out the monthly update!

Happy studies,
The NativShark team
