Kanji Cafe
Continuing yesterday’s discussion of Japanese for beginners, I recently found this file: http://www.kanjicafe.com/Reading.pdf which looks pretty useful for those looking to learn katakana, hiragana, and some vocabulary along the way.
I stumbled on it rather by accident. As previously mentioned, I check in daily at Kanji-a-day to review four kanji. Recently the site has shown a neat little stroke order diagram underneath the kanji. Under the diagram is a kanjicafe.com copyright notice so I decided to check out kanjicafe.com.
The site is very confusing and difficult to follow, but if you don’t mind the learning curve there is some good stuff on it for improving any level of Japanese proficiency. I’ve been experimenting with the “Ice Mocha” the last few days and have found it useful (although not user friendly in the initial stages). Those studying for the JLPT exams will not want to miss it.
