I picked up the Kanji Sonomama dictionary for the DS. I think this will be very useful. I can write the characters one at a time and it will find the words with that combination.

The one problem with it is that it assumes the time set is in Japan time, so the built in world clock is useless.

playing Ace Combat Zero... taking up most of my free time.

I bought it 2 weeks ago. It's great, but I must say my writting skills sucks. :sweat: There are a lot of english words in the descriptions and word search too. I love it.

Bonus:

Play Manhole
While in the universal dictionary mode, search for "MANHOLE" and select the greyed out entry that appears. You'll be able to play the old Game&Watch game on your DS!

Hear the the Mario coin-get sound
If you search for Nintendo or Nintendo related things such as systems or characters, you'll find greyed out entries that produce the coin sound from the mario games when selected.

^ Really. I will try these tonite.

About the English words. I think it's great that the English translation appears with the Japanese sentences.

I'm not sure if you are aware of the stroke order for kanji. I should check to see how well it recognizes the character if I make up some other order.

RPG? or like flight simulator? :headscratch:

I played Ace Combat 5 (?) and it was a fighter jet game. Mostly arcade, but fun.

Very useful for learning.

Yeah, but I don't know them. :shamefulcry: In fact, I'm having problem with the hiragana too. I don't know how to write them properly. Anything fancier than, i, no, ko, ha and I'm screwed. :beaten: I guess I'll have to learn how to write them...

Here's a start:

Basic Kanji:

Thank you. :bow: :thumbsup:

Sure. On second thought, maybe I should have put this in the Japanese section somewhere.

It could be useful. Nothing really similar found in the list

You could post the hiragana and katakana links in: Useful Sites To Learning Hiragana and Katakana. :headscratch:
