I'm pretty sure that some of us are interested by this language.
Why not sharing our links (lawful) to learn this wonderful language ?
(If you want to put a paying site, say it - that it's paying is needed)
(I don't like much putting this thread in the School and Work Lounge cause it seems it's really serious... but
it's hard to find another place to put it)
So my first selection :
http://www.yomiuri.co.jp/index-e.htm
that's a japanese newspaper, but the interesting part is :
http://www.yomiuri.co.jp/ppp-e/index.htm
(pdf) (japanese font for pdf)
it has got some mini lessons for the english-speakers that want to learn japanese. What I like is the author talk about
some japanese customs or other things that may be strange for a not-japanese. So I sometimes read the "story"
without trying to practise japanese.
