I found these on the E-Budo.com forum site I joined. they are in a thread under the Japanese Language section. Hope they can help people.


The Links
----------

Hiragana listening quiz

This link does work, but not here on this page for some reason. I just checked to make sure it worked.

If you go to the Samurai Forum here, to my thread on this same thing, that one at least works, if any of you can't get the url to work.

------

Excellent site, even though it's for kids, but who cares? It's useful! Has excellent Hiragana and Katakana charts. You can click on each character to hear the sound. There are other excellent things on this site too.

ドメインパーキング

-----

Has a lot of listening comprehension quizzes


------

Has some cool games. Awesome site, has other cool language resources on it, too.

Learning and Teaching Japanese

----

Some cool dictation stuff.


----

Another cool Japanese language site. Has interactive Hiragana and Katakana flash cards online.


----

Fun site all in hiragana. This is a hiragana game where you have put the character that is given together correctly(The one that is spit out...you'll see if you watch it long enough., and click on the correct character below that matches it to make a word. Also, in the left hand margin, are more games to choose from. Just click to see what they are.


-----

A good place to begin to learn to listen and understand Japanese.


----------

Here is a cool page with lots of good links to reading and listening to Japanese...not romaji, but the characters. It's even got little manga stories on one site they list. Just look around to see what site is for you.


-----------

Here is a page all in Japanese. These are stories to practice reading Japanese. They are mostly in Hiragana.
I can't read them yet, but someone here may want this anyway.


----------

And, one last site all in hiragana. It is a website meant for kids, but that's ok, because it gives a person a good chance to practice
reading skills to play the little games. And, you can even listen to video clips! That is in the upper left hand corner of the page.
Just click on stuff to try the games.


----------

I have this new link to add....

This new site is a vocabulary list of words written in Kanji in the first column, and Hiragana in the second column. In the third, there is the English translation, and in the last, there is a photo for each word to click on to view. It's a fairly long list of words, but is only one page. But, it is still helpful to some extent. There is no romaji on this page.


Nicked from the other thread

First is the Meguro Language Center free downloads page. This page is awesome. I love it. My printer on the other hand doesnt (jlpt grade 1, 175 pages ).
I'd check out the flash things, good stuff there. The hiragana and katakana worksheets are of high use for you too. Theres some good lists of verbs and adjectives probably some basic grammar notes.
Bookmark this page. It will server you well for years


Name says it all. One a day, every day.


I know it says phrases but it means grammar. Good for looking up that stuff that drives you mad and isnt listed in a dictionary.

Havent had a look through this but it seems good to me

Of course, we cannot forget Jim Breen's WWWJDIC Japanese-English Dictionary Server .

WWWJDIC: Word Search

Excellent online J-E (and E-J) dictionary which I tend to go to when I can't find a particular word in one of my (physical) dictionaries.
There is also a kanji look-up feature.

Nice set of links here, lots of useful things for beginniers.
 
Those links don't work because they've got the ... (shortening that a forum usually puts only in the *displayed* link text when a link is too long) in the link itself

Thanks for the heads-up, Mac, this shouldn't actually happen. Perhaps related to yesterday's upgrade to vB 3.0.4......?

Anyhow, we also have extensive nihongo resources listed on JREF.

Try the Language category of our directory

=> Language | Japan Forum

Furthermore, our Language Section.

Just a little reminder.
