For peoples which are beginners in Japanese languge learning.

Conniciwa!

For English-, French- or German-speaking peoples who want to make quick start with learning Japanese I can recommend very useful (in my opinion) web-site:

Minna no nihongo / Японский язык он-лайн

Besides lessons it contains also links to some useful utilities and soft.

PS. It's in Russian but in upper right angle there is button for translation to English, French or German.

Best wishes, Vladimir.

That's the name of the textbook I'm learning through, "Minna no Nihongo". I'm up to Lesson 5 in it.

the animated pictures of hiragana and katakana are especially useful because u can see in what way one could write them

sound files give us information about pronounce. it's always very cool.
