So maybe you want to learn Japanese

Posted by firestormx on July 24, 2010, 6:53 p.m.

But you don't know where to start. There are lots of places out there to learn Japanese. Books, school, games.

Imagine all these things put together in one. There is a lot of that available on the internet, but all those adds and "sign up required" makes you frustrated , doesn't it?

A frustrated person means loss of customers as well as loss of interest in learning a language. This is how life continued until…..

http://www.123japanese.com was made.

Its not like any other Japanese learning website. This website has no annoying ads that cover the learning area. Its focused on teaching Japanese, not making money. Its 100% free, you don't have to sign up and you have access to all the information right away.

But it gets better. 123japanese's vocabulary section is like having your own personal Japanese to English dictionary (except its not a translator, it has a already there list of words). There are thousands of vocabulary to look at, and they are all categorized and then subcategorized so you can make your learning experience easier.

Now we all know just knowing a bunch of vocabulary isn't going to make you fluent. This is why there is a full lesson section which you will start from the beginning and work your way to the top.

Even more. There is a verb section with the verbs conjugations, as well as a online forum to talk to other members. There are books and videos to help you remember and read. As well as kana charts to help you learn to write the kana.

The kanji section is still under construction, and there arn't any games yet, but there soon will be.

All of the content is both in English, Kana and romaji. If you have no clue what those words mean, why not go learn. Why not go learn Japanese today, because learning a language, just got easier.

**Note, If we have and fluent native speakers on the website please send me a PM**

Google Chrome adds a weird white area when I look at it..

Which was what I was talking about.

To me it seems to be more more useful than most other sites for learning a language ^.^

But now it's your job to fix that. :)

Yes, how dare we use a browser that actually renders in a standards-compliant manner.

Please center that shit properly. That outer div align="center" BS doesn't do anything for other browsers, only IE.

edit: older versions of IE, it only centers in IE8 if you use compatability view.

Eh. I like Chrome and don't care much for layout. I care for content. And this is pretty useful stuff.

Obviously she fails to understand that chrome actually displays websites how they are supposed to display - according to the standards.

I don't have anything against that website. I like the approach and content it offers but I don't like the design at all. First of all, it isn't centered - you might wanna fix that. Second of all, as I am a web 2.0 nerd, using tables for layouts is so old-fashioned, last but not least, the website looks like it was made in the late 90s/early 00s. It's 2010 for Christs sake.

I also noticed that it doesn't teach the logic behind the stroke order of kanji. Instead it just teaches 'this one is drawn like this, and this one drawn like this', never pointing out the logic, which is useful for kanji not shown on the website.

Either Chrome sucks or your girlfriend does, and I have a hard time fantasizing about Chrome, so…

Lol at all the people acting like chrome is so great for showing this problem. IE8 shows the same thing and I bet most of the other browsers do too.

The site must be created in IE6 or 7, I'd say the first order of business should be to update it to IE8 so that these problems stop happening.

Personally, I think the "standards" just suck. But everybody hates me and throws rocks at me when I say that, so don't pay any attention to me.

Thats weird. I checked it on Firefox, slimbrowser, IE8 and chrome. It all looks normal except for chrome on my computer, but on my gfs computer theres no space on chrome.
