the following are websites for learning Japanese
Quote:
 

http://www.kanjisite.com    (as the name says its a site containing lots of Kanji info also contains useful info on katakana and hiragana) this website has a lot of Kanji on it but it's not a good site for looking up Kanji

http://sp.cis.iwate-u.ac.jp/indexe.html (this is a fricken banging site containing lots of info on the Japanese speach, containing verbal tests and all kinds of stuff.  If you are self-studying Japanese and have no real spoken language contact this is the site for you to get your practice in!)
http://genki.yousei-ziploc.com/01.php (This site contains multipul Japanese lessons.  Great reference or great lessons if you can not or do not wish to buy a book)

http://nhhr.dimentech.com/curriculum/nihongo/index.html (this site contains multipul random info on Japanese such as notes etc.  Great reference site if you need some misc. info do check it out)

Oh, hey! I got credited! ^__^

I've still been meaning to finish organizing and straightening out that list...
But I've been lazy. -_-;;;

Anyone have any other suggestions for catagories and words to be added?

Let the world break me down, as if I care
I've got nothing to lose, Like shattered glass
Flying to pieces, I'm already torn
But there's a way to shine, if there's will.
