The George and Keiko Show
I just signed up for The George and Keiko Show. Its an online TV show for learning Japanese. George and Keiko talk about a topic, introducing new Japanese words and explaining things in English as necessary. Watching the show makes me feel like I can actually understand Japanese. So I signed up for the monthly fee (Just under $8 dollars) which gets me four shows.
Take a look, its good fun. There is one sample show you can watch too.

Hi Mike,
This is George from the show. Thanks for joining the site. What part of Japan are you in? I will be in Japan for all of July doing filming for the show.

Hi George,
must say I was quite surprised to find a superstar like yourself had commented on my website! (I really have to tidy up around here...)
In answer to your question, I live in Nishinomiya which is about half way between Kobe and Osaka. This is one of the many pieces of information I'm supposed to be putting up on the site (eventually).

Hi,
I saw some of the sample programs and it looks interesting. I am in Florida and will be signing on as a gift to my son who is turning 12 years old. He has already begun to study Japanese on his own from library books and tapes. Although I think his interest in Japanese began with Anime years ago. :)
Have you found it helpful? And fun?

Hi Pat,
In answer to your question, I have found G&K very helpful. The thing I like about the show is that I get to hear natural conversational Japanese but with enough explanation to understand what is going on. The show is great fun too. I should point out though that G&K is only a learning aid - so your son needs to keep studying through other means as well.
To your son:
I hope you enjoy George and Keiko and good luck with your Japanese study. Ganbatte ne!

Of course there is always YesJapan.com! Which is a great site to learn Japanese. I am not just saying that because I own it but because a lot of work has gone into it. I am glad to see this thread is growing. We are coming up on our 50th George and Keiko show! I can't wait for it. Also the big Halloween 2003 Show is coming up!
