What are some internet sites that are free that teach the rules for good Japanese grammer and sentences? ( Besides this one, This site is good to)
And are their any good free programs that lets you display Kanji on you computer? The OS that I am running is Windows XP
Thanks

Heh, maybe a search for "Japanese grammar" would turn up a few more results :evil: (Don't shoot me!)
Anyway, here are some websites that I like. These are all from my bookmarks, in no particular order.
Collin's Japanese Language and Culture Page (http://www.epochrypha.com/japanese/) has a very wide variety of resources and links on Japanese language and culture.
Japanese Culture and Society: An Anthropologist's View (http://www.isei.or.jp/books/75/Front.html) If you're studying culture and you're in it for the long haul, then this is the webpage for you. It's very detailed and not at all tedious.
Japanese Lessons form the Basics by Megumi Nanasawa (http://www.geocities.com/jay3242000/mypage.html) I have never used it myself; but I've heard that it's a very well-organized course.
Japanese.about.com (http://japanese.about.com) has lessons, a discussion forum, and links. If you're going to start anywhere, start here.
Jim Breen's webpages (http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~jwb/japanese.html) Someone ought to give this man a medal.
Japanese Words and Phrases (http://www2.tokai.or.jp/yuki/japanese_words_and_phrases.htm) Good situational phrases.
Kanjidict and other stuff (http://kanjidict.stc.cx) - this is a collection of resources for writing Japanese, including a dictionary and a kanji search utility. However, it gives few (if, indeed, any) pointers on usage and presumes a good knowledge of grammar. ( :evil: I'm just teasing. :) )
JLPT Kanji (http://www.thejapanesepage2.com/kanji/kanjimenu.htm) - Not a bad place to review the kanji you need for the JLPT, but learning them here will be very painful - it's just presented as a list. If you click around, you'll find lots of cultural notes and other fun doodads.
Tim's Takamatsu (http://www.timwerx.net/) is an okay resource, but the lessons are rather sporadic in content and structure. It's not a bad place to start at all, though. He gives some nuances about usage that you won't find in many other places.

Mayuka I have already did that LOL
The reason why I asked was to see what all your people are using. You konw I may find a site and use it but only to find out that it is one of the worst Japanese language sites on the web lol. Things like that has happend before.
Thanks for you help.
