All resources
Instead of having them all spread out into different posts I figured I would post them all here in one.
I'll just update this post every time I find something new and useful.
1. Memrise There is also an app for apple and android
2. PuniPuni It's really cute. Looks like it's more for children but...that's what I like about it. ;P
3. Kanji-Link A very helpful and in depth explanation.
4. Denshi Jisho GREAT for looking up the meaning of a kanji and their stroke order. You can also search kanji by its radicals.
5. Rikaichan for Firefox(Rikaikun for Chrome) best thing I have installed onto my computer!
6. Google Japanese Input A Japanese keyboard for your phone basically. I use it everyday. Even has cute emojis I can't stop using. :3
7. Digital Japanese Keyboard Only good for Hirigana.
8. Lang-8 has been very helpful for me. I have met some very nice people thru that site.
9. Kana and Kanji Quiz(Windows App)Good for studying and practicing Katakana, Hirigana and Kanji.
10. Genki($20-$50+) Can be expensive...for some reason...but has good explanations and exercises.
11. Maggie Sensei One of my absolute favorite blogs! Very helpful. I have spent so much time on that blog! ^-^;
I think that's all I have for now.
I hope these are helpful.
じゃあね!
