| This is my friend, Mr. Furry-Face. |
My name is
William James, but I post under the name Tigoris. I learned Japanese
through self-study and immersion while living in my home in Florida –
pretty far from Japan. At first I just wanted to be able to read
Japanese novels, but I've continued to study and learn even after
achieving that dream. Now here I am a few years later living in Tokyo and attending a Japanese university.
If you've come to this page, then you
have the most important thing needed to learn Japanese: the desire
to learn. The most difficult part of learning Japanese is making the
decision to start. Once the decision is made, there's nowhere to go
but forward. So take the first step; I'll help you on your way.
And if you need help, you can always

I just wanted to mention an excellent tool for studying Japanese kanji - if you're on Windows 7 and you've activated the Japanese typing IME, you should have access to a tool that lets you draw out a kanji and it gives you the kanji that match it. I've tested it out on a complicated kanji and it works great. No more having to look up kanji by stroke order!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this! I should probably make a post so that more people can learn about it.
