Welcome to Gaia! ::

Here are som links I complied from the I think I'm learning Japanese, I really think so thread

Freakezette's Awesome Japanese Links
The Places you must go if you're seriously learning.

For the Beginners:
Japanaese Vocab Guide A great site to actually hear words being pronounced correctly. Thanks Takase Misuki
Japanese at About.com Namiko Abe has on here some good basic japanese for the new learner (like my lessons, but better biggrin )
Japanese Online A little like the about site, but you need to register sweatdrop
Genki Flash Cards A good place to practice your hiragana.
Japanese Writing This guy put together animated picture of how to write katakana, hiragana, and some kanji. Totemo Benri! (very handy!)
MLC Meguro Language Center The home page for a Japanese language school in Tokyo, if you click on the "free material" tab at the top right corner of the page, you're find tons of downloads over all different subjects. Man, I wish I knew about this site before.

For the Intermediates:
Jim Breen's Japanese Page Jim Breen has links to probably every Japanese site in the world, but it also has a very good online dictionary (The WWWJDIC) where you can look up words and individual kanji. You'll have to know hiragana to read it, though.
The Reading Tutor This is a good place to cut and paste japanese text where they post the furigana and meaning of kanji compounds, good for reading comprehention.
Rikai.com Another place that will help your reading by giving your the reading and meaning of vocab words.
The Kanji Site This site is good for beginners as well, but is mainly focuses on the kanji you'll need for levels 2-4 of the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT). Not planning to take the JLPT? I'm not really either, but it's still good to see what you know and what you have to learn still.

For Everyone:
Japan Guide
This is a great place to learn about the culture and geography of Japan.
Real Japan
The personal website of an American girl living in Japan.
Engrish.com
Not really educational, but a very entertaining site about what happened when the English language and Japanese products collide.
Anti Pixel Blog I recently found this blog about an Australian living in Tokyo, so visit for some inside perspective.
Q-Taro Blog Another fun blog about a man who has lived in Japan for some time, and makes some fun observations, also posts in Japanese!

aw, sweet, someone actually is reading those, I need to make more . . .
