Random notes for myself
editLearning Japanese
edit- Japanese for the Western Brain Nice almost linguistics based information without being too complicated.
- Ken Butler's Japanese Language Learning Free CyberTutorials - Mostly good for the summary of particles.
- A Japanese guide to Japanese grammar - This site explains Japanese grammar in a systematic step-by-step process and is released under the Creative Commons License. It was created as a resource for those who want to learn Japanese grammar in a rational, intuitive way that makes sense in Japanese. The explanations are focused on how to make sense of the grammar not from English but from a Japanese point of view. To learn more about this guide, go to the introduction page and start learning this intriguing and unique language!
- Another Page I found this and bookmarked it... so it must be good... right?
