Learning Japanese? Visiting Japan? Japanese Language Portal - Just What You Need! Eons ago, I had to go to Japan on business. I hate being in a country without an element of 'survival language' (greetings, counting, shopping, directions, eating, where is the bathroom, etc…) so out came the books and cassette tapes (yes, I'm THAT old). Things are so much better nowadays – and there is a ton of free stuff available on the net – it's more fun, less boring and much more effective… I spotted this site on a poster at a local college – recommended by their Japanese teacher. I had a quick look, and thought it was well worth passing on. The site acts as a portal – through which you can connect to many other Japanese language teaching sites, some free, some with subscriptions. Hunt around and whether you want basic survival spoken Japanese or to go deep into the language and learn the various written forms for academic research, you'll find something here that will help you. http://nihongo-e-na.com Four stars
