Hi
It’s the end of the school year here in Japan which means I’m very, very busy with tests, marking and grading.Because of this there will be no new lessons for a while. In the meantime I am going to post links to various groups of videos you can use to review. New users, please look at these and find the appropriate textbook (PDF) and video to download from the categories section.
