I'd been playing with online Japanese lessons and games before I started these courses. They were helping pick up the Hiragami and some vocabulary - but not any real instructions on how to think or speak actual Japanese conversations. I looked at some Japanese grammar books that were pretty dry and overwhelming. This course is already filling in a lot of the missing links in a fun and bite-sized way.
That's great! Thank you so much. Please let me know if you have any questions as you go through the material (my email is found in the books)

Can gift card be bought with weirdly specific amount on it? Or only with amount ofered on website?
Thank you! Right now, I have to set the amounts manually, but I can certainly do that for you.

Just email me the amount you want and I'll add it!
Thank you,

Can gift cards be used against a Makoto Plus subscription?
Not directly, but contact me and I can manually create a Makoto+ coupon you can give to someone.
It may only work with annual (or Lifetime) subscriptions since it can only be used once. For example, if the gift card is $25 and applied to a $10 Shogun month, it could only be used for the first $10 month. But if applied to a larger amount, it would work. For example, the $50 Samurai annual would become $25 after the gift card is applied.
Anyway, if this sounds good to you, please contact us and we'll create something for you.
Thanks,
Clay
