kongzi.ca going live -- investment/presales opportunities

[usagi]

Usagi, welcome back.

Hi!

Do you have any kind of plan to pay back all those people unfortunate enough to still hold shares in all your previous failed ventures?

They didn't fail, GLBSE was shut down. If you had any shares or holdings in any GLBSE companies, you should send me a PM here with your proof of ownership sent to you from GLBSE. As I receive them, I will be distributing assets to people who held my companies. If all else fails, I can always divert some of the profit from kongzi.ca to pay back people who have valid claims. That's one of the reasons I am rushing this project -- if kongzi.ca is successful I can use it to clean up some of the mess GLBSE's blowing up caused and make the bitcoin community a better place.

I actually don't know a single word of Japanese. While it's good of you to recognize my obvious superiority to yourself in Japanesology or whatever and offer to pay for it, I fear I must decline.

Ok so, do you want to learn some Japanese? Here, I'll teach you something easy.

Ha.na. Ha like ha-ha, na like nananana. Ha-na. It means flower. Now you know a Japanese word Now you can no longer say you don't know a single word of Japanese.

See how easy that was? Hana means flower. The Japanese also use it as a common name; hanako is often thought of as one of the most common girl's names.

You seem to be under the impression of me being on your side. That is incorrect.

Kong Zi says: "Have no friends not equal to yourself."

No I don't think you're on my side. I'm just offering to teach you some Japanese. If you say no, then there won't be much reason for me to talk to you here I guess? Unless there's some other language you'd like to learn.

Maybe she is trans? Are you trans usage? Are you post-op or pre-op?

The funny thing is, that isn't me. And even if it was, whoever posted that said it isn't their real name. So yeah, back to your regular trolling ;-)

Well, I am sorry for you... This time EskimoBob came up with meaningful evidence. I confirmed that Oliver Richman is one of your multiple aliases. So your statement is false.

You have just earned a huge amount of respect.

We also publish and sell our own language textbooks, and they are some of the most advanced language textbooks in the world. We're starting with Japanese (although others are in development). We currently have the only Japanese textbook in the world that attempts to use comprehensible input theory to teach the language. And our website will be the same.

You should disclose to potential investors that you are not fully skilled for Japanese language teaching. You have less than two years of Japanese language writing/speaking:

Kongzi: Japanese

Posted on June 23, 2011 by Usagi
Okay I finally decided to start learning Japanese. I’ve been “learning” Chinese for 20 years, don’t hate me for switching horses midstream, okay? I will always love the old horse too.
Anyways.

As soon as I started learning Japanese I realized that I would have to first learn Hiragana. Hiragana is of course the primary writing system, or “kana” in Japanese. So I dutifully started entering Hiragana into Kongzi. I immediately discovered much to my chagrin that for all the “talk” I made about using Kongzi to learn Japanese as well as Chinese, it wasn’t nearly as convenient. Here’s what I was faced with:

Have you started lecturing them yet, about something you just learned about yourself?

No shit! Usagi, you pulled same crap with your "insurance" -  arrogant and utterly clueless -  barely comprehending the writings on the wiki page.
 
Usagi (Oliver Richman, Appledog, Renli, troll and a wanker) you are fkn disgrace to BTC community. Go away and troll some other forum.

Usagi is apparently introducing see one, do one, teach one to language studies.

Why should I disclose that? JLPT certification is JLPT certification. It's like someone who has a degree. Why should they disclose that they are not fully qualified.... when they are?

Lol, keep trying. You almost got me here! Except you didn't.

つまらない～

I've taken the JLPT, I've written books about it. You can say what you want. I don't need your approval to succeed, and it's quite obvious you and certain others on here are making an immense fool of yourselves once again. See that membership count on kongzi.ca? Watch it go up and up and up... While you sit here and waste your life trolling forums. Good job EB! Keep it up! Maybe one day you'll reach critical mass and actually get somewhere in life?

[usagi]

Usagi is apparently introducing see one, do one, teach one to language studies.

Well, for someone who didn't actually read anything I wrote, you sure do have a well-formed opinion ;-)

Actually, well let me put it this way -- ever hear of Dr. Stephen Krashen?

Lol, keep trying. You almost got me here! Except you didn't.

Qualification is a piece of paper, skill is an empirical experience. You cannot obtain a skill without a long period of practice.

Moreover, feel free to prove you are qualified. You did not presented any evidence to back up your claim.

[repentance]

I've taken the JLPT, I've written books about it.

Are you claiming that you passed it?  Ah what level?  What level of JLPT you're certified at is absolutely relevant to whether you're competent enough in the language to teach others.  Nobody should invest in your business or buy your products unless you're willing to provide evidence of your proficiency.  That you thought someone you presumed to be  merely above N4 level was competent to review teaching materials is laughable.

[MPOE-PR]

I have it in confidence that the real field of usagi expertise is Ito calculus. This Japanese thing is just a cover.

I've been a professional in-the-classroom language teacher for 7 years now. Before that I taught privately.

As for evidence, and backing up my claim, open your eyes; I wrote a book, there's a sample online; feel free to criticize my Japanese. And then there's the website.... Yeah, I think the onus is on you here ;-) Feel free to bang your head against the wall trying to show I am unqualified, or as others have said incompetent, a scammer, etc -- because it's one thing to make the claim bro, and quite another to actually come up with something real, ね！

From what you've just said it strikes me that you have a good grounding on what other people have said in this thread, but you haven't actually bothered to check out my book or website, and really have no idea of what is really going on here. Feel free to check out the samples from my book for yourself; the link is in the OP. The book is N5/pre-N5 level. Do you like the worksheets? I think they're pretty cool.

As for nobody buying my products until I have provided evidence of my proficiency, that is the funniest thing I have ever heard in my entire life. Just look at my book. it exists. I laugh, seriously, I laugh. How many people bought "Japanese for busy people", one of the most outdated textbooks in existence, for the JLPT N5? It has the worst audio material I've ever heard. And none of them bothered to check the author's ability. Lol! You really have no idea how this works don't you. I don't NEED your approval, nor your investment! I ALREADY have a nearly finished product, and I'm going to sell it, to a LOT of people, whether you like it or not. This will be one of the only JLPT N5 textbooks in English, in the world. Ever hear the word "niche"? As for my JLPT certificate, it will be published in the book. So go buy a copy when it goes to print. I won't be posting it online as it contains my real name.

Good luck with your Japanese!

[cunicula]

Good idea not to associate all these scams with your real name.

How did you ever end up with so many aliases anyways? You must have pulled a lot of scams to have to change your identity so many times.

Did any of your scams succeed?  Why don't you tell us about some of your crowning achievements.
