Jukuu.com (example sentences)

#1
I haven't seen http://www.jukuu.com mentioned anywhere as a source for example sentences. Does anyone know if it provides reliable examples? It says its source is the "Internet Corpus". Not sure if that just means the Internet or an edited corpus that comes from the Internet. Any ideas? Thanks.

(If it is a good source, someone may want to post it in the appropriate resources section.)

After a quick (google powered) comparison of sentences, I have determined that most of them come from a mixture of ejje.weblio.jp and excite dictionary (so maybe they are all from eijiro?)

Good idea. Smile

From eijiro? I checked eijiro and none of the sentences showed up there.

I also checked further and found some of them at http://mastarpj.nict.go.jp/~mutiyama/ali...alignment/. This site contains a bunch of stories in Japanese and English in parallel.
