| Here's a nice "Text to speech" translator site... It doesn't convert the text that you input into it, instead it reads what you put in back to you. http://free-translator.imtranslator.net/speech.asp - Take what you are trying to translate in Wakan, and input it into the site. That way you are learning it with visual and Auditory styles Directions: - Towards the top of the page there is a little tool bar, set the language to Japanese. - Paste what you want to be read back into text box - I usually set the speed to "-" for first time listening, then I speed it up if needed. - click "Say it" |

It shows you a bunch of conjugations for adjectives (the way Kodansha's book on verbs does), but the real beauty of this book is that it gives detailed information on dozens of adverbs, each adverb getting both a definition and a few example sentences. Incredibly useful for entering into a spaced repetition program like Anki, since reviewing sentences helps you learn words, kanji, and grammar all at once. |
| Web sites: http://www.cnfj.navy.mil/phrases.html - Page by the Navy. Example useful phrases and vocabulary. http://nihongo.j-talk.com - Three parts to this site. 1) Kanji Converter, converts Japanese text to Hiragana or Romaji or adds furigana to it. 2) Japanese-English/English - Japanese dictionary. 3) Kanji search by stroke count, radical, Jouyou level. With up to 100 example words for each kanji. |

| Here's the kanji dictionary I like to use, it covers grade 1-9 kanji, 3215 in total, with examples and audio pronunciation (I've never used the audio so I'm not sure how good it is).. every once in a while I'll come across a kanji that's not in there but that's pretty rare. It is a bit more common for me to come across a compound that's not in there, but you can't expect comprehensive vocab from a kanji dictionary. http://www.saiga-jp.com/kanji_dictionary.html EDIT: Oh, there's also one other I should mention.. for those not using the Heisig method (Or even for those who are and come across 8th grade or higher kanji), there's a kanji stroke order font that is really useful: http://sites.google.com/site/nihilistorguk/ |

| Yep, just every single line sorta like, no wait, it is CC. (closed captioning thing) Since some of them, or most of them are .ass. I think the most convenient way is to open it in aegisub (google/download) and save as .srt then you can open in notepad. but if you have the video and want to watch with the subs then you know what to dowith the .ass/video file re-name same |

| Just a couple questions. How far does the Japanese in Mangaland series cover? Also, have you tried Kana de Manga and Kanji de Manga? |

| Sub2SRS http://forum.koohii.com/viewtopic.php?id=2643 basically you can use it as he said Use subs2srs to Create Anki Decks Based on Your Favorite Movie or Show. This works well with drama because most of them softsubbed. for anime if it's an mkv file you can do it. you have to convert the audio to mp3. to do that you can just use sub2srs under tools. and, you have to extract the subs with mkv extract. Well, i guess you can't really make an anki deck with that and english subs unless you really want to. I personally just use it to listen efficiently by joining the audio files up. It's usually like half thelength of the epissode. I hvae a pretty strong filter through, been too lazy lately to add to it. I use this program to join. http://www.snapfiles.com/get/mp3albummaker.html the only issue with this program is I have to open folder. if i do open files, it crashes. |

| If you are in california, or hawaii, or ny you might be near a book-off. the locations they sell used books (小説・文庫・etc)... so it can be quite cheap like $1 manga. the ones in america have japanese and english section. It makes immersing yourself in japanese affordable as far as books go... it does depend on the "selection" at your local book-off. |

| Even narrower than the above - If your in Los Angeles. Dowtown on alameda at 3rd street there's 正直屋 shoujikiya - honesty shop - a used bookshop that atleast half as expensive, and way more dustier, than Book-Off. I go to both at least once every two months. |
 |
| For anyone in the NYC area, there's a new Book-off location! |

| I'm not sure if this counts as a resource, but I'm learning all the Japanese vocabs on the site: smart.fm I really love this site, because you can learn all the basic words you need for speaking Japanese. You can also learn how to pronounc the words, because many of them are recorded by native speaker. Kanji are included and there is often an example sentences, so you can see the vocab how it is used. |
| Very new Hetalia forum please help to get bigger =) http://hetaliahouse.forumeiros.com/ |
| sure it does :) It been known here for quite a time (even b4 it was called smart.fm) I like it cuz it gives you sentences... :D though i dont use it myself XD |
 |
| I just wanted to mention http://jplang.tufs.ac.jp/int2/bu/1/bu-1.html I found it too late to get much use out of it but it has a lot of great examples on sentence patterns (among other things). I haven't looked through it all but there really seems to be a wealth of information there for indermediate or slightly advanced levels. |
| http://www.anime-manga.jp This is a discovery. |
| God sure is cruel, sometimes he makes you live. Gather some leaves of Japanese. |
| just wanted to mention korean subtitle files .smi which you can use when you can't find Japanese subtitle files. By that I mean google translating kroean subtitle to Japanese! I think of it as Japanese subtitles > koraen subtitles > english subtitles > no subtitles. blog post explaining how to do it :D http://choronghi.wordpress.com/2010/11/13/cant-find-japanese-subtitles-for-studying-japanese-try-korean-subs/ and rikaichan with audi ofirefox extension (so you can hear the word just by pressing A I believe) http://forum.koohii.com/viewtopic.php?id=5562 it also has the added option of having the japanese definition show up instead (from sansaido, press P) I really love this extension b.c. the original rikaichan crapped out on me like a year ago (firefox crashes when i turn it on) and this makes rikaichan work again. |
