Hi guys, I was wondering if anyone would be interested in learning Japanese while they played games with me starting in January. I’m a Japanese-English interpreter living in Japan, and I wanted to start a streaming channel in which I would teach Japanese as I play games. The problem is, my rusty old brain isn’t used to playing and talking, so I need someone to rejuvenate my brain.
I won’t be recording or streaming our sessions, and I’m not asking for money. I just need to get my brain used to doing more than one thing at a time. Oh and if you could help me improve my Smash skills, that would be a plus.
DM me if you’re interested. I have a Switch 2 and a somewhat outdated PC. I can get a copy of whatever game you might be interested in playing together if I don’t already own it.
That’s a fantastic idea! In fact, I don’t know why I never set that up for my students that I teach English to. I’ll get started on this after the holidays!
Edit: Is Stoat any good? I’d rather use an open-source alternative over Discord.
Honestly I haven’t used Stoat enough to really evaluate it. It seems to be a pretty good copy of Discord, but I haven’t tried the voice chat features, so I don’t really know if they would be adequate or not. It’s worth checking out as a self-hostable (but not federated) open source Discord clone, for sure. And they only recently changed the name from Revolt to Stoat, so that adds to the confusion of trying it right now.
Discord would probably be the safer bet overall, though. If only because people are generally familiar with it and you benefit from the network effects.
