If you’ve never had katsudon, then you’re completely missing out on life, I’m serious. Katsudon is one of those dishes that makes you question how on earth did you survive so long without eating it. Just think about it, panko breaded pork chops simmering in a bed of spinach, eggs, in a sweet soy sauce dashi, poured over a hot steamy bowl of rice. Supposedly, this dish is made all over Japan and is considered good luck to have it before an exam. Honestly, screw exams, I can eat this everyday.

Japandict is an online Japanese dictionary aimed to be one of the most complete and userfriendly on the Internet. It uses the publicly available data on which most online Japanese dictionaries are based on, but it's trying to show all the information in a much friendlier way.

Denshi Jisho is an easy-to-use and powerful online Japanese dictionary. It lets you find words, kanji and example sentences by searching in many ways.

The dictionaries are also interlinked so that you can check what the kanji in a word mean individually or what context a word can be used in. You can also look up kanji by the parts they contain.

The data is publicly available and comes from the excellent WWWJDIC project.

This second Edo era may sound like a poetic utopia, but it has some influence: Sakakibara observes that Japanese students do not study abroad anymore, and that “nobody learns English.” At a time when South Koreans are becoming more globalized, learning English, and welcoming a growing number of immigrants, Japan is entering a “de-globalization process.”

That is a worrying trend, and not only for Japan: South Korea can hardly stand alone as the lone Asian democracy. If the Japanese do not wake up from their Edo dream, Asia might very well become a Chinese empire.

The JLPT Study Page is a resource of study materials for JLPT Levels N5 to N2.

I set out to take my first JLPT exam in 2004 and although some information about JLPT exams was available on the internet, the information was never organised in a way that was useful to me.

Importantly, I was never quite sure what was in the official list or whether an official list even existed.

So, despite being void of artistic talent, I decided to create the sort of web site I was originally hoping to find. I wanted all the lists: Kanji, Vocab and especially Grammar I also wanted the lists to be up to date - since a lot of JLPT requirements were updated in 2002.

There are 214 radicals. Don't worry about learning all of them! I doubt most Japanese can recognize and name them all. However, if you memorize some of the important radicals, they will help you to figure out the meanings of many kanji.
