I spent 2 years between high school and coming to Japan where I had no Japanese lessons. My primary method of learning Japanese in this time being instant messaging with Japanese people on the internet. In terms of learning new vocabulary, I must have learned at least as many words each year by emailing and chatting on MSN with my Japanese friends than a year studying at high school! Sure, you don't write the characters down, and even forget to write some, but you learn to recognise them, and I very rarely find myself in the position (even having spent a year in Japan now) where I need to write in Japanese anyway. That aside, I think for bridging the gap from upper beginner/lower intermediate to upper intermediate, its darn hard to find any replacement for email/instant messaging, since it can keep you in contact with Japanese people for most of the day, if needs be. Used in conjunction with a tinsy bit of writing (a short journal entry each week, maybe) and you've got yourself as much practice as you need. |

sHOT!!!!!
i started my Japanese classes on Saterday and i already can read and write hiragana, it amazing although i have been remembering lots of stuff from anime and JDrama, if i learn a new word i would write it in hiragana,katakana and kanji. The language is amazing especially when your Sensei is a Japanese. Kanji is the best, the history behind how it came to be, it keeps me going. I would like to improve my skills, so im always up for a chat or whatever. PM me or email me [email protected] Peace out |

I have exercises that I email to a Japanese teacher who corrects them. But before compiling the WP sheet, I write the whole exercise on a sheet of paper and then I will redo it (I won't simply copy it) on the WP. It is not that hard to remember the strokes and even if I get one or two wrong it is not the end of the world. Of course we are all different and what works for me might not work for you. I am old and my generation got used to pen and paper and we use it alot, newer generation might find more useful a computer |

I was looking around online the other day and found a free kanji dictionary online. The website is saiga-jp.com, it appears to be a site for Nic-knacks but at the left side there is a link to the dictionary. It is very useful and I use it all the time.
