Japanese Language Resources

[Nattybumppo]

I've just started a Japanese-learning blog for intermediate to advanced learners of Japanese. It's called Before Breakfast, and you can find it here:

beforebreakfast.net: 日本語を朝飯前にするウェブサイト

My site is not for beginners; reading ability for hiragana and katakana (and basic kanji) is assumed. It's always seemed to me that too many sites out there are tailored to absolute beginners (and never give enough information) or they're tailored to super-advanced learners (and the information is never in an easy-to-digest form).

In contrast, my site's purpose is to provide interesting tidbits about advanced Japanese in a format that can be readily understood by intermediate Japanese speakers, hence helping them up to the next level.

I hope you'll visit, comment, and learn something!

Thank you Gymo,
it's very useful.

Thank you all for the information. I am trying to learn Japanese, and it's hard because my school does not have any classes about it, nor will it in later years. Independent study is often difficult.

Check this out! https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6178

Yes, it only works with Firefox, so IE users are screwed... I use IE, but I got stuck with Firefox by accident a little while ago , so that's another option: just go and get it!

Basically (if you don't feel like going to the site), it's an addon for Firefox that puts furigana over Kanji in a Japanese text online.

And it kicks ass.

I did change my signature after that post, so I'm sorry if it seems redundant (or related words).

That has to be one of the coolest features I have ever seen! Thank you very much.
