Papurika.moe’s soon-to-arrive “Love Language Japanese Year 1 Gentlemen Edition” has cleverly melded language learning with a visual novel, allowing even avid gamers the opportunity to learn something new while doing what they love – and bound to silence those who believe games can’t be educational.
The Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) level 1 exam, the highest level of 4, has attracted note after apparently including a listening comprehension exam in which “Asuka” begs for number 4 mobile fighter launch permission…
I would have sat there completely dumbfounded... Hopefully I'd have gotten out of my stunned state before the time for the question was up, lol... More
WTF, is this really comes out in JLPT level 1? Even a foreign also know what is the correct answer! even a people who watch anime also can get the answer!! Is this a joke? i don't... More
Google has released its own software for Japanese text entry, called simply “Google 日本語入力” / “Google Japanese Input” in direct competition to Microsoft’s ubiquitous IME.

wait what no kawaii? I'd bet that in reality only anime, tokyo and ninja beats it.... More
Having explained a little about how great Rikaichan is, I’d like to introduce an excellent tool for many of the instances where Rikaichan is unusable: StarDict. This open source and cross platform dictionary software functions similarly to Rikaichan, but is not bound to a browser, being stand alone software.
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
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. The original site based Rikai is now basically defunct, but deserves credit for implementing the idea.
