Japanese study resources

- This is a list of online resources for studying Japanese -

For the roughly 5 years I've been studying Japanese online, I have found tons of online resources, but I'll narrow down a list of my current favorites. Some are free, and some aren't but they're all useful in their own way. Hope this list is useful. ^^~

 

Grammar/General:

Tae Kim's guide to Japanese - The only free and complete Japanese grammar guide online.

Visualizing Japan- Very well designed lessons, if not visually appealing, it is at least the best visual approach to learning Grammar.

About.com Japanese Guide - Easy and straight forward to understand. It really is more about Japanese.

Nihongo Up -A good all round Japanese learning website.

The Japanese Page - Community and Japanese learning site

 

Vocabulary/Kanji/Kana:

Usagi's Genki Resources - Vocabulary and Kana resources for your Genki studies.

Practice:

Lang-8 - Write journal entries in the language you're learning for natives to correct.

 

Dictionaries:

I'll be adding more as new things appear or as some old ones go outdated.
