Google Hangout / Livestream Pause (Patreon)

Good afternoon Patrons! I hope this message finds all of you well. It's been a while since the last Google Hangout or livestream, so I just wanted to take a minute to address this topic. I've talked about it briefly in other posts, but I don't believe I've ever created a post specifically to address things properly.

Since the birth of my twin daughters (September 13, 2017), I've had to put the Google Hangouts and livestreams more or less on hold in order to keep regularly releasing phonetic lessons. Please accept my apologies for not clearly addressing this until now—everyday is hectic and I'm often rushing just to release normal comedic and phonetic content.

I do intend on streaming again in the future after my kids have started preschool, but this may not happen for a while (they will most likely start some kind of daycare later this year, and a full Monday through Friday school in early 2021). Thus, I would encourage all Patrons in the $5 tier that are in said tier specifically because they are interested in taking part in the Hangouts and livestreams to temporarily consider joining the $1 tier, or the $10 tier for access to Japanese Phonetics. Again, I do intend on live-streaming in the future, but because that won't be for some time, I'd like to make sure that for now everyone to get their money's worth.

If you have any questions or concerns with regards to this matter feel free to leave a comment below. Thank you for your understanding, and good luck with your Japanese studies!
