Since I’m starting to pick up Japanese, I thought it will be a good idea to create a new page for the sites/books that I’m using. Note that some/most of the resources are written in Korean, since I’m using Korean to study Japanese most of the time ^^ Links to further details/reviews will be posted (coming soon!)

Online Tutorials

• 김태호와 일본어교육 - 일본어회화1/2 (on the left side bar)
• Japanese-nihongo
• Erin Japanese

Reading Practices

• ECIS インタネット放送局　- reading and listening practice (beginner – advanced)

I tend to use books written in Korean or Chinese. Korean books are good in that Korean is very similar to Japanese and thus these books usually offer more explanation on common mistakes that Koreans usually make while learning Japanese. It also gives a clearer comparison between Korean and Japanese and I find that very helpful. I feel that Chinese has a much wider/better range of resource books compared to English when it comes to learning Asian languages like Japanese or Korean. They are cheaper too ^^
