My contribution is Wrightak's Rikaichan mod. Imagine Rikaichan, but you can add to your Anki deck when you mouse-over a word. Awesome!

They are micho, gothic and aoyagikouzan.

mkgelgota Wrote:Not sure if anyone has this problem, but I often find that digitally printed Kanji or those on signage look a great deal different from those written by hand using a pen rather than a brush. I want to practice writing accurately and I have found that certain stroke details that would be apparent when writing with a brush are either accentuated or ignored for the purpose of clarity in penned messages. Is anyone aware of a resource with images of handwritten kanji? Thanks!Japanese fonts

Big List of Free Japanese Resources (Learning Japanese w/ Free & Cheap Materials: Study Guide & Big List):
http://forum.koohii.com/showthread.php?pid=141398#pid141398
I just compiled a huge list/guide with links to mostly free resources (see above). (You could say I'm on a beginner's "high" and having too much fun reading through various resources. I need to stop reading and start studying more!) Many of them have already been mentioned here, others have not. Figured a different format might be easier to search and read through, but some of it is definitely redundant.

Hey guys I uploaded a video about how to turn your Anki decks into multiple choice quizzes using Teach2000. I know most don't really care for multiple choice but for the ones that do check it out!

Oh wow, that Ajinomoto Youtube account was a great idea. Thanks for sharing!
It really helps improve your Japanese listening skills as well as Japanese cooking skills

I use ZKanji. It has compounds, animated stroke order, readings, JLPT/Jouyou levels, kanji search with a lot of options including all of the above plus SKIP and English meaning, and much more that I don't even know. If you're not yet at the level where you can use a native Japanese dictionary, I can't think of a better free Japanese dictionary with an English interface.

“… one does not accumulate but eliminates. The height of cultivation always runs to simplicity. It is the half-way cultivation that runs to ornamentation.” - Bruce Lee
Kanji Dark: Optimally Sorted Kanji Deck
"I have created an Anki deck to learn the kanji, ideally using a Heisig-like technique (testing by going from meaningful keyword cue→kanji target, encoding with subcomponent-based mnemonics to aid bottom-up visualization of the kanji, sort of like using captions to visualize a picture), but in the most optimal* order and without requiring Heisig-specific frame numbers or primitives or keyword, etc., though use them if you like (see the deck instructions). Especially, mnemonics from online communities are still useful." - darkjapanese

Choko choko library
They have about 10 reading passages for each JLPT level
I found their vocab maybe not so JLPT relevant BUT still might have use somewhere in life
Intermediate reader in technical and scientific Japanese
I thought this was cool.
Be warned - it's not exactly light reading material but I found it to be excellent practice.
They give you a science based reading passage followed by explanations, important kanji, and vocab.
JLPT dictionary
exactly what it sounds like.
i use it for grammar especially, since you can sort by JLPT level.
it gives you explanations right on the results page so its good for quick look-ups
