ABOUT THE SITE

This website is one of two sites that developed out of my old WordPress blog. My original posts were about awesomeness, randomness, cookery, and studying Japanese. As time went on I moved my blog to a paid hosting service and removed everything except posts on learning Japanese. I continued to develop my Japanese learning methods and continued to publish them. Sometime later, two things happened: (1) I realized that OLiSPIELS.com was not the best name for a Japanese language learning website; (2) I missed the awesomeness.

After that, I created NiHONGOCENTRAL.com for learning Japanese, and redesigned OLiSPIELS.com.
