| Sites Where you can Learn Japanese | It is usually best to look for sites that have sound or video to get your pronunciation right.
It is also useful to check which sites are written by Japanese speakers so you do not end up learning some of the wrong stuff that is out there. Here are a few brilliant sites to learn Japanese successfully.
Japanese Pod 101
It is a podcast program for your ipod and although it is a little work to get through it is very entertaining.
George and Keiko Show
It is a great site using videos and a sort of chat show format. It is a paid site but is very lively and teachers lots of real expressions used in Japan all the time. Funky subtitles make a big difference.
Popjisyo.com
It is maybe for more advanced learners but it is also useful for beginners. You simply go to popjisyo.com then type in a Japanese site you wish to read. It then takes you to that site, but when you move your mouse over the Japanese words it gives you reading of the kanji characters and a translation in English.
Say it in Japanese (from web-japan.org)
This one is aimed at kids, but do not let that put you off. It is very easy to navigate and the Japanese is simple but useful. The sound loads up as external files, but the conversation pieces are a great starting point.
Youtube
If you have the patience to sit through a few bad videos then Youtube does throw up some gems for learning Japanese. They are usually quite short so are easy to get through and the audio with the visuals makes a big difference
