[Mysticienne]

There's also dictionnaries, like mine, for those who mght be interested: Langenscheidt Publishers -- Language Learning Products, Bilingual Dictionaries, Maps, and Travel Guides

Japanese dictionnaries section, of course: Langenscheidt: Part of the Langenscheidt Publishing Group

Mine is the last one, the yellow one ^^ except that I bought it via Amazon.

Exactly. And how to physically write the strokes of a kanji, and most important, identify which one is the correct lecture =/

Pronunciation is the easiest part for Spanish speakers, except for long/short sounds (kuso can mean two totally different things xD!).

A huuuge difference actually. I am Spanish and I find it difficult to understand Mexican movies. The difference is much more pronounced than the one between American spoken English and British spoken English.
