I'm currently learning Japanese from expertvillage.com. Yuu Asakura seems like a pretty good teacher.

http://www.japancast.net
this website is really good. It is run by a Japanese woman and her american husband. They have a japanese lesson podcast and the woman,Hitomi, does a diari in kana everyday and puts the translation the next day. Also, this website has a forum and a penpal survice and some other thing i forget what it's called.
but i recomend this site ^^

All Japanese All The Time - The author of this site is apparently fluent in Japanese and the site is dedicated to the method he used. Even if you don't follow his method exactly he has some really good points., in particular the idea of getting as much input of Japanese as possible. I also think he sentence-studying in an SRS flashcard program is also a very good idea. In short one of the main things he focuses on is knowing what correct Japanese sounds like by always studying true models of Japanese. By doing this you're a lot more likely to eliminate "off" sounding Japanese.

I have two new sites they are:

1) LiveMocha
~ This site allows you to learn languages from Japanese to Hindi. It is a language community so you are also able to make friends with people who are either native or just starting out in the language to help you practice with. The site also have live response so people will be able to help and correct you and also share lesson to help better your understanding. The site is free and is still in beta so you can feel free to join and send in any feedback that can help make the site better.

2) Mango Languages
~ This site is on online and offline site. Unlike LiveMocha there is no community but it is still a good site to look at. There is a Discovery Course which is absolutely free and the Premium Course which you would have to pay for.. When you first join your first 5 lessons are Premium then it goes back to Discovery, it does this so you can get a feel of what you are missing but without the Premium package you can still learn alot. They also have a lot of languages to choose from.

I recommend any of these two site to anyone and iif anyone decides to join LiveMocha just look me up. My user name is same as my gaia name. biggrin

It's the same site from which the Genki book series came from. I learned how to recognize the hiragana and katakana through the listening quiz, as well as telling time and counting numbers. I usually suck at the listening part of anything during a language test, but with Genki, I was able to get it right away.

I seem to have forgotten this existed. Just as well.

Japan 21

Not only do they have chockloads of informations available for you to peruse, but you'll find a lot of other interesting things by putzing around the site a bit.

Kanji Game

A neat little online game to help reinforce some of the meanings of different compounds, and whathaveyou. Especially useful in tandem with offline studies of the written language.

This post on Japan Probe also holds several good resources for Japanese study

My Happy Planet I was checking out this site, it's still in Beta but seems promising (my user's Koshikun). It's a community site where you can connect with others who speak the languages you want to speak. Seems to be quite a few Japanese speakers. Also has amateurishly written lessons, and videos!

Real Kana Just a flash-card like site, really simple and useful for memorizing katakana and hiragana. Just keep it on your link-bar and go there daily when bored for a few minutes, ahah.

EDIT: I'm just checking out All Japanese All the Time, it's great! Here's another link they suggested:

"Tip: enter a JapaneseURL into the box on http://www.hiragana.jp/ and it will add kana pronunciation aids (furigana) to the kanji."

すばらしい!

A couple of channels I found on Youtube I think would be useful:

I just found out about iknow.co.jp ... it's really good, specifically for English/Japanese. I listed word champ before but this seems more reliable, and there are "courses" you can take. (this is a vocab building site) Right now I'm on "Core 2000: Step 1" .

http://www.iknow.co.jp/

Great for vocab, sentences, and practice. Includes default lessons, and user created ones.

Great interface, keeps you entertains, and makes learning vocab much less of a hassle.
