we also have a dictionary here!... just scroll up to where it says 'search' and change it to dictionary...its pretty good!

Without a doubt, I think the most useful site(once you've mastered the basics of Japanese) is

www.rikai.com

Select Japanese to English
and it'll forward you to

http://www.rikai.com/perl/Home.pl

Enter a web url.
Hover your mouse over some Japanese words and prepare to
be amazed. I wish I knew about it earlier. I'd be fluent by now.... :-)


This is an especially great tool if you want to learn Business or Technical
Japanese. For Technical Kanji, Slashdot Japan is a great place to start......

This page looks interesting...

Quick and Dirty Guide to Japanese
http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~jwb/kanaqadgtj.html

Its a overview of basic Japanese grammar... could be useful for someone who doesn't have any proper text books or grammar reference books. ;)

edit:
Here's another basic grammar summary page...

thx :D

I'm building a Japanese course on The Foreigner - Japan called Japanese 101. There will be a new lesson with each new issue.

Each new lesson will feature new grammar, while continuing to build on everything discussed in previous lessons. They also contain vocabulary lists and translation exercises.

These lessons don't offer the regular collection of useful phrases, but rather attempt to give you a thorough understanding of the Japanese language and its grammar.

I've also started work on the most extensive and easy to use reference work on Japanese grammar on the internet, I hope to upload parts of that soon too.

Things that might find their way in there in the future are soundfiles and online tests.

And it's all free.

Tried it out a bit, the translations are bad, but the romaji translation worked fine :-/ However Maybe helpful for easy Japanese translatings.

I didn't checked all links now, hope mine aren't already posted:

tq,,.
for the websites guys.. :mrgreen:

did someone want an online [E <-> J] dictionary?
here's what i use
http://www.solon.org/cgi-bin/j-e/dict

I have decided to hold off on publishing the Japanese grammar section until it's finished. There are too many cross links to put it online section by section. This would result in many dead links. Though these dead links would be solved over time, I fear that many people would be put off when they keep ending up nowhere when clicking many of the links.

I can't say when the grammar section will go online, but I'll try to get it up as soon as possible. Preferably before the end of February 2004 (this month), but it might be later due to the sheer size of the project. (Over 70 pages.)

thx for putting it together. hope you get enough time to finish it soon :rolleyes:

I hope so too, the size keeps increasing as I'm working on it... :sweat: At the moment it will be over 110 pages...

All the website above is great , but is there any website that translate the english word directly, for example iy i type birthday the output will be tanjobi. not in kana.
