Introduction
Welcome to the Japanese Online Self-Help Utility, or JOSHU for short.
In Japanese, JOSHU literally means "assistant",
or "tutor",
which is what this website attempts to be to anyone
interested in learning the Japanese language.
JOSHU was first created by Nan Puthaaroon for
her creative thesis as one of the Plan II requirements. Various
students from UT Austin Japanese Program, including
F. Bickerstaff (Student Technology Assistant),
L. Jones (STA), Kyle
Goetz (STA), Tan
Nguyen, A. Young, E. Capps, L. Yangyingxong,
and J. Orland assisted in developing this site. JOSHU
is supported by a grant from the UT Austin Liberal
Arts Instructional Technology Services.
