    Good books or websites for learning Kanji the right way

    Sorry, here's the main site: Learning Materials of Japanese Language - Kanji You will need to pay for full access. Learning to navigate Japanese websites is good practice in itself - you only need to learn a few words to find your way about. (A good marker of how well you know your katakana as...

    Good books or websites for learning Kanji the right way

    What I did was to work with a bunch of test papers, with a notebook to write down vocabulary I wasn't familiar with. I'd end up with a list of study words for each level. You can get practice materials by googling something like 漢検 無料 プリント plus the level (10級 and work your way up) , there are...

    How do millionaires travel to Japan?

    If you are really interested, look up terms like 'full service travel agent', luxury/exclusive/executive travel, etc. etc. I can't personally recommend any of them, but how about a $3500 helicopter transfer from the airport to Tokyo. That's one-way. Obviously the millionaires don't google these...

    What are the good ways of making a male japanese name that "sounds" nice in english and japanese?

    People don't make up names, they use (generally speaking) existing names. They might just pick a name out of a book or name their kid after a celebrity. They might pick a name they like the sound of, then decide which kanji to put with it (there will be a few obvious possibilities). They might...

    Navigation System Language

    Manual: https://www.fujitsu-ten.co.jp/eclipse/support/manual/pdf/AVN6604HD_Q_0.pdf Don't see any such option. We've had a couple of similar questions in the past, and I don't think it's ever come out that there was an English option. There's simply no demand for it on a system produced for the...

    How can i improve listening and speaking skills?

    Listen more, speak more. I'm not being glib here - you're suffering a quite common problem which comes from (I'm presuming) residing in an area where you don't have regular chances to interact with other Japanese speakers. Most of your study comes from books, rather than audio materials, so...

    Please tell me a best website to learn Japanese online

    WEB版 エリンが挑戦!にほんごできます。|Global Home is probably the best of the free online resources, in that it has audio, video, etc.

    Bilingual one is heavily furigana'ed, e.g. in these two lines from the opening of one of the stories, every kanji word has furigana. 「わたし、寝たくないの」 駄々っ子のよう嫌々をしながら、美都子がいう。 The stories are a mix of modern short fiction aimed at adults but they have been picked to give a range of styles. The...

    Need help with budgeting the cost in Tokyo

    The university should be able to provide you with typical utility costs/budgets. You can't just scale down utility costs by floor area as a fridge/rice cooker for example, will cost pretty much the same in electricity no matter the size of room in which it is used, the same for hot water...

    あなたの好きな小説

    それほどバカバカしい内容が読み覚えがないんですが、確かにあり得ない話が多いですね。それでも好きです。(聞き分けのない女です、すいません。) ご親切の申し出をありがとうございます。でも、近いうちにメルボルンの古本屋を回る予定がありますので、大丈夫です。お恥ずかしいですが、松本清張や内田康夫の作品をまで読んでいません。マイクさんのおススメなら、絶対探し出します。

    I'm doing a clean-out, so offering these up for anyone who wants them, else I guess they'll go on ebay. UK only because I'm not so generous as to pay international postage rates. A mix of stuff I'm done reading, and stuff I picked up off ebay etc. that I turned out not to like /won't re-read...

    あなたの好きな小説

    推理・探偵小説が好きです。業界用語だらけなので知らない言葉がどんどん出てくるんですが、楽しく読めます。(今の)一番好きな作家は鉄道ミステリーで有名な西村京太郎先生です。赤川次郎先生の本もとっても好きです。 日本に住んでいないので、小説をeBayで買います。「この本」とか「この作家」とか、いつでもeBayで売るわけじゃないんですから、「好きなジャンルで、面白そうで、あまり高くい」小説を買って読んでみます。好きにならない物もありますけど、500円以下の本ですから、読み切りなくてもよいでしょう?

    Need a word or phrase translated?

    not literally life is over, more in a 'don't add insult to injury, I've suffered enough' sort of way (ライフ like in a computer game sense). Further info: もうやめて、○○のライフはゼロよ/ 同人用語の基礎知識

    How to Type Japanese

    I don't find it that bad - I've got a laptop so can't really change the keyboard, what I do is to leave it on Japanese keyboard settings (only shifts a couple of things around), and then it's one key combo to switch. On Android I use the PObox touch keyboard, which is flick-input or and a...
