The following was originally published September 10, 2009 at http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/tofugu/~3/1hwkE0lVvZI/ Have you heard of [|eduFire SuperPass]? Maybe you’ve seen the big banner in the right-side bar. Essentially, SuperPass is a subscription program over at eduFire that lets you take unlimited (SuperPass) classes for a low fee of $29 a month. We’re talking less than $1 a day here, and you can get //a lot// out of it. I’ve definitely seen a lot of people really improve their Japanese over the last couple of months way faster than if you were meeting with someone once a week, or something along those lines. BUT, I know a lot of you are poor, and if only you had the chance… just //one chance// (or eight chances?)… you would eat it up and try your best (and then get pretty good at Japanese!). There are eight blogs out there giving away [|eduFire SuperPass] subscriptions **right now**. I’ll be giving away some on Tofugu at a later date, so for now, I’ll have to bid you farewell and send you off to eight amazing blogs. Check out their other posts too – all of these blogs are blogs I already read, and you should too!

How to Win eduFire SuperPass
Brett is an Aussie who lived in Japan for a long time, and is also a [|teacher on eduFire]! So, if you won his contest (or any other contest) you might end up taking lessons from him! His contest involves Twitter and tweeting. It doesn’t get any easier than that, right? For your chance to win, head on over to his [|Japanese language blog] and figure out the details. Don’t get caught red-handed **not** checking out this site. I always love the extra work that goes into each and every post. Just like the beauty of the website, to win your copy of SuperPass on this blog you have to do something beautiful as well… [|write poetry]. Specifically, a haiku. You can post the haiku on Twitter or the comments of the actual post. You can read more rules by [|visiting this super-sexy Japan blog]. Feeling a little dumb? We’ve all been there once or twice, where we made a huge mistake and people look at us funny. [|DumbOtaku’s contest is all about mistakes]… more specifically, Japanese language mistakes. Got a funny one? [|Head on over to DumbOtaku] and share it with the world (to get your hands on some juicy SuperPass). Deas has been [|RockingInHakata] for a while now, but he hasn’t had a logo to show for it. Fancy yourself a designer? Think you can outdo his plain text header? I think you can. [|Head on over to RockingInHakata now] and help this guy out! For your hard work, you’ll get yourself a month of free Japanese lessons! I think a lot of you have a [|favorite Japanese word], right? Like mine is 滅法. TheNihonSuki would like you to use your favorite Japanese word in a sentence. That’s it! For more details check out [|the contest page]. Hey Mon (can I say that?). On this blog, you’re being asked a bit of a riddle, and it’s not too difficult too! I have a feeling if you don’t know the answer already, you can find it somewhere on the [|Jamaipanese Blog]. For more details, check out [|the contest page]… Mon. Wow. Not just one prize… More than one prize! If you don’t win tasty SuperPass, you can [|win some tasty sweets instead]! Though, we all know that sweets are a fleeting pleasure, whereas language acquisition is forever (take that to the diamond commercials). All he wants is a tag-line for his site. I’m thinking something along the lines of “Gakuranman – Shouldn’t wear one of these when it’s warm.” Hmm, I think [|you could do better]. This guy had a bat in his possession. Not like a wooden or aluminum bat, but like a Batman bat. That’s pretty cool. Also pretty cool that he’s giving away a SuperPass subscription. [|All you need to do is //want it//]. That’s it. So do you? Punk? More contests are coming, so check back on this page occasionally, or [|follow me on Twitter]. Even if you don’t want SuperPass, definitely just check out these blogs. Every single one of them are great, and I read / follow them too.

FAQ about SuperPass
> It’s not **just** for [|learning Japanese], though it is the most popular subject (which means more classes). There are all sorts of other classes as well, including social marketing, cooking, other languages, business, and more, all of which you can take with a SuperPass subscription. You aren’t limited to Japanese, though I assume most of you are interested in Japanese. > It’s normally $29 a month (if you don’t win one of these prizes), though the [|first week is only $1]. Not too shabby a price to try it out, right? And it’s super-easy to cancel, of course. > I suppose that depends on you. If you take advantage of it and take a lot of classes (it’s unlimited, yo!) then it works really well. I’ve seen a lot of people grow a ton in their Japanese ability over a pretty short period of time. It’s really all about how much you’re willing to put into it. Of course, if you subscribe and never go to any classes, you won’t improve at all. Duh. > Later, later, later. Well, not too much later. Keep watching. Any other questions? Ask them in the comments. If you don’t have any other questions, hurry up and check out those other blogs. Also, **[|you should follow me on Twitter]**.
