Welcome to Gaia! ::

idea I've been apart of Passport Japan for... three hours and counting? And I noticed a recurring theme: People looking for study buddies and teachers
spacePerhaps you could develop a more effective way for people to find study buddies and teachers (like have them fill out forms with their skill level and time zone) so that people can more easily locate study buddies or teachers can find students

idea Passport Japan could do a Q&A once in a while where members can get their questions answered quickly?

idea Passport Japan could release newsletters with fun facts about Japan, idioms, Japanese stories in original Japanese and translated with a vocabulary

idea The lessons could have quizzes at the end and members could ask for the answer key after they have completed a lesson?
space arrow Speaking of which maybe Crew members could offer lessons for Gaia gold?

Wow, I have a lot of ideas... I think I worked too long at The Gaian Wedding Chapel... Hope they don't notice I'm back... That's the last time I work for human resources... even if the pay was good...>.> anyway I digress...

idea I don't know what the Crew Base looks like, but to be organized I think every Crew member should have an office where they check in (ha, got this idea from the Gaia Wedding Chapel... it's actually a lot easier to tell who is active and who is not wink )

idea In my opinion, I think Free Giveaways and Contests should be merged into one. Why?
space arrow Neither, to my knowledge, are very active
space arrow They are closely related
space arrow It looks nicer with less places to navigate (speaking of which I think the Banners subforum should go on the Main Forum as a sticky)
space arrow These should also have some type of forms to fill out (for the people who make a new Contest or Subforum) and specific things to post in the subject so that contests and giveaways are easily identifiable and understandable

idea Speaking of banners maybe Passport Japan could do a banner making contest to get more banners... I would have to think on what the prize would be

idea Passport Japan could hold "parties" or "social events" (Yeah, I'll go with that) in Gaia towns where members can chat live

I'll stop there... I originally indented to post one idea... Lol, I hope my ideas are helpful. I just want to help members of Passport Japan to be more active and learn Japanese more effectively. 3nodding Please excuse me if I went overboard redface

Thanks, it's the thought that counts right? biggrin I have more ideas churning around in my head but I'll wait and see what happens with these ideas... >.>

I would make a banner but all I can really do is make the pictures..... The whole process confuses me with the link and stuf. sweatdrop But anyways good ideas. Even though I'm not here very often.
