    i'm learning japanese, sharing what i'm learning!

    That's some nice reasoning, but it's wrong. It was written as a ? and later as ? because the ? sound is what normally triggers a geminate in compound words. Take for example these: ?? ????????=??????? (this also undergoes ??) ???????????? ??????????????????? The premodern writers were simply...

    best way to learn Japanese

    Ukkari o Nakusou, Bunshou Yomi Training is not really a reading training application despite the name. The questions are more grammar based than reading comprehension. It is actually pretty basic, so probably good for second year Japanese students. I haven't used it for long enough to see how...

    ROM Hack Opera Browser using only slot-2 cart

    "use browser" would have nothing to do with 100% compatibility since no official cards can do it without the memory cart either. Just go get a 3in1 to use with your slot1 cart, they are so cheap that they might as well be free.

    Mac vs. PC

    I have both Macs and PCs (running Win2k3 & XP, can't stand Vista). I prefer macs for notebooks and non-gaming desktops, and pcs for servers and gaming machines. As I've been traveling for the past year and will be for the next few, I am currently essentially Mac-only (macbookpro), except when I...

    Mac vs. PC

    Brand new machine that Apple doesn't even sell anymore? yaaa... Why do people even make these threads? They just bring out fanboys and ignorance (redundant) on both sides and produce nothing of value.

    Reviewing DS Softwares for Learning Japanese.

    You don't need to know Japanese other than to get through the rather basic menus. After that its just practice. The game is meant for elementary school students from first to sixth year.

    Reviewing DS Softwares for Learning Japanese.

    I'd recommend Tadashii Nihongo kakitori-kun over any of these homebrew apps for learning the kana and kanji. Kakitori-kun will actually teach you proper stroke order and shape, rather than being little more than a flashcard app. It's also pretty easy to use for a beginner.

    best way to learn Japanese

    The one time I went to the Japanese embassy here they had plenty of children's reading materials in the waiting room, but I doubt they'd like people taking it home. There is always Amazon.jp etc. If you live near one of the few Bookoff stores in North America, that is a jackpot. Tons of used...

    best way to learn Japanese

    Good point with the readings, however you should really start trying to use what you study from the very beginning. Children's books etc are suitable for a beginner. And for the love of god don't rely on JUST manga. You'll end up speaking like an unintelligible freak. Manga dialogue is NOT...

    Hacking FULL Review of EWIN GBA Expansion Pak For DS Lite

    I bought my R4 in a real store, don't live in Hong Kong either (Japan). It is of course possible that Rudolph or someone else will add autopatching to their loader. Rudolph at one point said he was going to release the source, at which point anyone could add it.
