Also @namste gave some good recommendations in the recent JLPT Listening thread for some Japanese Let’s Play people. Not sure if we want to link those, or point to that thread/post…???
I’m thinking of adding an Android App (game) now.
EDIT: Editing done. Not 100% sure if that description is accurate enough for Kanji Connect.
Wait, I recommend JDIC? I don’t, but it is definitely a great dictionary. I used to use it a lot in the past.
Added some of the Memrise courses. WaniKani reverse vocab and WaniKani expansion pack, also.
I really recommend Rabbit press’s Japanese Graded Reader. Full furigana, so you don’t even need to know the Kanji. However, the instruction says – do not use a dictionary.
Alright, I’ve done an expansion of the textbook section because I was finding it difficult and confusing. There are so many options, I thought it would make it easier to choose if they were categorised like this. If you disagree, feel free to revert the change or make your own categorisation. I am using ‘textbook’ here in the sense that what is being provided will build upon the knowledge that it teaches you from beginning to end.
Separated categories into online, paid online and physical textbooks.
I hope I haven’t confused things. I was thinking of dividing the Kanji section, possibly to include individual application, speaking, reading and writing section. It didn’t seem appropriate. Maybe some else will want to do this.
Haha, whoops. I think you overwrote my changes. I checked twice before I committed the edit, because I knew someone else might be editing at the same time.
Sorry about that. There is no easy way to simply choose the older edit, is it? Plus I added a really minimal content, while undermining greater contents.
I was thinking of dividing some of the content in the lower half of the list to make it easier to follow. Japanese news, culture, audio, native Japanese exposure, YouTube, manga and audio courses could all catagorised under new separate categories Listening, Speaking, Writing and Reading. I’m not sure if the content will fit as nicely as I am imagining, though.
Sounds like a good idea to me, but it might be hard to make it work with the upper part of the post. If you divide it into those four categories then surely Lang-8 must be in speaking, Satori Reading in reading, Japanese Language And Culture Network in culture, and so on. That would lead to a breakdown of Japanese Practice And Online Services and Resource portals and Japanese learning and culture networks.
It’s definitely a good idea, but it might be hard to do it well.
Looking great so far (I only scanned it but still).
Question… last time I checked Satori Reader had both free and paid content, is that not still the case? Cause if we use the money symbol, for stuff that offers both, we should put free/$ or something?
Except for sites and apps that have a mostly unnecessary paid option, like Memrise, I don’t think it’d be worth mentioning for things like that.
In the first update I made, I lied about checking all the links. I spent about five hours organising things, when I got to that in my checklist I just wanted to get out of the house.
I say removed it; the list is already overwhelming. If we keep all updates in the comments then we can preserve the links by including them in the change log.
[Edit] What was the special offer, @Shiawase? I just noticed that. Maybe it would be better to keep it, as an exception to the rule, if people are provided with a discount to Rosetta Stone.
Broke specific skills into Reading - Writing - Speaking - Listening, but I don’t know where to put “pitch accent”; don’t know how to create 3rd-order bullet.
Listening section is dropped away elsewhere.
Japanese Graded Readers by Rabbit Press can be classified as a textbook supplement, but probably more sensible to put them at “exposure”.
