Essential Resources

#68
Other than this site these are the indispensable online tools I use while learning Japanese?

Japandict.com
Provides simple succinct definitions, radicals and verb conjugations.

Flashcardexchange.com
When I get sick of shuffling through my hundreds of flashcards, I use digital ones.

Furiganizer.com
Cut and paste any thing Japanese and magically get furigana. It is a great reading aid.

Smart.fm
It is intended to be a learning site, however, I use the lessons to do mass reviews. It is a powerful learning tool, however it requires a bit of tailoring.

Tofugu.com
When ever I start feeling that learning Japanese is an insurmountable task that I will never accomplish, I surf this blog for laughs, encouragement, useful tips and links and whatever else.

For Fun:

Hulu.com - Tons of free and legal anime. (Sadly for US users only)
Animecrazy.net - Tons of free but illegal anime.
Dramacrazy.net - J Dramas
Mysoju.com - J Dramas
Viikii.net - J Dramas (However, this site does require that you install their player)

By the way, if anyone knows of a site where you can legally watch J Dramas, please email me. I have searched and searched and with the exception of a few shows from the 70's on Dramafever.com, I've found nothing.
