Hiragana Games 2
Hiragana are the Japanese symbols used for all the grammar and words that
can't be written in katakana or Chinese symbols. Unlike katakana, you need to be able to speak a bit of Japanese before learning hiragana
( otherwise you won't know what the words mean!), but once you have, try
these games!
Also be sure to check out the talking "Japanese Words" page and my Hints & Tips page.
Recommended Courses
There are loads of great resources out there, and one of the good ones
is the "Pimsleur" series. They have a "Quick & Simple"
starter pack and also a full on "Gold Course". They are well
recommended if you want to learn Japanese, in January I used it to learn
everyday Spanish in a month!

Or for slightly cheaper, but one that requires a bit more work, you can have a look at the Living Language series. Although now I would prefer the Pimsleur course above, I actually used
the Living Language series myself when I first learnt Japanese. It's good,
but you have to keep repeating and repeating the same CDs, whereas the
Pimsleur makes you think more, and reviews the language as you go along.

All the Japanese on this page is suitable
for either guys or girls, and is pretty normal,
everyday Japanese. This means it's not too
formal, but you'll be fine as long as you
don't say it to anyone too posh!
