Despite being intended for learners of Japanese, videos of busty YouTube inhabitant “Hannah Minx” have lately been proving popular amongst the Japanese themselves, though for reasons unrelated to any conventional form of education…

Yotsuba-to! – Ideal manga for learning Japanese?

Yotsuba-to

One of my favourite manga, and in fact the first I ever read in the original Japanese, is よつばと!/Yotsuba&!, by 東清彦/Kiyohiko Azuma. It is an entertaining and easygoing manga, with good art and story, so that alone is enough to recommend it; it is a best seller in Japan so many would agree.

    I personally use the Wakan (http://wakan.manga.cz/) and Rikaichan duo for my electronic look-up needs. Wakan doesn't interface with other programs, but I use it more for learning instead of just another game translator. ... More

Rikaichan for learning Japanese

rikai.jpg

There are a few dictionary tools no student of Japanese should be without. The first amongst these is the by now quite well known Rikaichan, a dictionary extension for Firefox which, when activated, displays an inflection sensitive dictionary entry popup on mouseover of Japanese text.
