I was really looking forward to looking at some Japanese women selling some bright pink spandex that I just have to have.
Thanks again for the lesson, Looking forward to the cooking one tomorrow I even planned out a sleeping schedule to fit in for the whole thing. Ciao~
Koichiさん おげんきですか？ ｔｈｉｓ has got to be one of, if not "the" most Awesome article posted on Tofugu.com ever! Thank you so much for your hard work in helping us - eager to learn - students here on Tofugu.com and youtube.com and now everywhere on the interzwebの! （‘＾＿＾） 。
Finally ！ I've been waiting for ’so（’。＿。） long to be able to show people the e-book that you had let us ”edufire-class” attendees download way back when （こ。＾） .
ーQuinsY. ( ’Have been using twitter now also thanks to Koichi-sensei)。
Covers lots of different subjects related to language, and has some other general information on the culture. http://www.timwerx.net/home/index.htm

I think you just won the internet.
Excellent stuff!
Let me suggest another free site:
http://www.mangolanguages.com/
There's a free Japanese course there and it's pretty good. If you like you can upgrade to a subscription and get more sophisticated stuff, like the ability to download lessons to your iPod, etc. Check it out!
You rock!
http://japanese.about.com/od/wordoftheday/Word_...
You can sign up to get through e-mail. It has word/sentence/sound.
I second About.com, but also suggest JapanesePod101. I'm taking classes, but lately I've been searching for the grammar points in the textbook on that site, and they're pretty good for reinforcement, if not pure learning on its own. They have several different levels, so it's not just for beginners (they even have "newbie" lessons) or more advanced learners either. Of course, if you pay you'll get pdf files of the lessons and some other stuff (broken-down kaiwa line-by-line mp3s), and the pdfs are good (free trial for a week or two gets you everything, so you can try it out), but you don't have to pay for the podcasts themselves.
great post :p
i know i will be using them quite often :D
thanks.
ps - omg just heard the best song on Sony Music japan haha
woo for livestation
Arigato gozaimasu. I now have all of the sites from both videos bookmarked!
That journal correction feature on Lang8 is very cool. At iKnow!, we'll be doing something along similar lines in the future so learners of Japanese can benefit from our large Japanese user base (currently around 300,000 users). But if you journal on iKnow! now and make some friends, I think you'll find Japanese speakers will enjoy commenting on your post and giving friendly advice.
I would also add japanesepod101.com to that list. They offer premium services, but the bulk of the content (the podcasts) is free and it covers a lot of timely and practical expressions that you would never pick up from a class or book.
Mil gracias ^^
btw I found a download for Ｊapanese emotes (ex: (；ﾟДﾟ), ヽ(・∀・ )ﾉ)for Windows computers a while back but never saved the link. Do you know of any?
ありがとう、コウイチさん！
hmm, i recall seeing your plug for Lang-8 quite a while ago.
i mulled over it for a few months...
i just joined yesterday...
and already...
this site is effing amazing.
thank you so much for recommending it. i'm trying to get a few friends on board too ^-^
oh, and happy belated birthday!
I've been on lang-8 for a long time now, after you recomended it on youtube.
I have invited you as friend, but you didn't accept. :/ :(
Btw, happy birthday! (a couple days too late :P)
What's your user name on iKnow?
Reviewing the Kanji is a great flash card application that goes hand in hand with the book "Remembering the Kanji", which has shared user stories to help put the ability to recognize and write kanji in your hands.
All Japanese All The Time is just a great blog to get motivation and ideas to become FLUENT (speaking, listening, reading and writing) in Japanese in a reasonable amount of time (less than two years).
Now my only problem is where do I start! O_o
Same here on the Livestation front - it was mentioned there are about 15 Japanese channels - I can't bloody well find them. Help god dam it.
p.s I nearly wet my pants when i used Rikaichan for the first time. I will be writing about my Japanese learning adventures here, so drop by http://learning-japanesey.blogspot.com/
It's free and the best site I have seen for cramming kanji and words into the brain.
www.learn-japanese.co.in this site

no homo.
arigatou!!!
I took my JLPT level 3 in December (fingers crossed...) and now I feel kind of stuck, so hopefully the things on the list can give me a little push.
I have been using Rikaichan for quite a while now and it really help to learn the kanji (help to forget as well as one tends to get too lazy, but this is another question). I will test the rest of your sugestions.
Again thank you for your tips and congratulation for your blog

Basically, he has video classes in youtube(homemade), that teach you hiragana, grammar, and all those begginer stuff. But he does it in such a motivational way that nothing else can.
This is THE way to shake your lazyness off and actually start studying.
Hey, lemme know if you already knew it, and what you think of it. ^^

That is a very helpful post - Thank You!
I especially liked jisho and rikaichan.
-p.
I figured it out, never mind! C_C
(Within the past... 5 months I believe?) There was a large uproar about it, but... Yeah. It's the same thing basically. Just changed the name and a few features. ^_^
