Comment on AJAX Kanji recognition by Nick

The fact that it’s written in AJAX means nothing if it doesn’t work. And because it doesn’t work, well we have precisely nothing here.

I tried it out and it was a complete waste of time. I got maybe one kanji in half a dozen to even appear in the list of candidate kanji that comes up.

Don’t agree on #1, except that you definetely have to learn Kana. But after that, writing words in Kana which are usually written in Kanji is useless. Ramaji is used far more than Kana. Japanese use Romaji everyday on their PC, it’s the standard input method. Hiragana itself isn’t very useful. It’s not like you’ll write a handwritten letter all in Hiragana.

Yoyogi Park, Shinjuku Gyoen, or Odaiba are the first places that come to mind. Once you take your photos send us a link.

Comment on You’ve been in Japan too long when… by Cy

Cy — Tue, 20 May 2008 17:59:07 +0000

Aww, this made me so nostalgic! So many funny, quirky and endearing things about Japan…I do miss it awfully. I only got to spend a year there studying in Nagoya, so I didn’t have time to really get all of these items, but it’s very educational–now I know that I *shouldn’t* tell ppl I majored in English, lol!

Thanks for the list and keep enjoying your life in Japan, you lucky ex-gaijin, you!!

is the ’slasher hand’ the one aimed skyward done at head-level, or the one that emanates straight out of the belly?

Comment on 2 “must own” DS titles for Japanese Students by EdoDestructo

When the Gameboy Advanced came out I started studying Japanese and spent one full day at Akihabara district in Tokyo searching for such an educational software! But to my unbelieve there was nothing like it on the market and the shop keepers all said that Nintendo wasn’t interested in educational software because they were making more money with games than edusoft. I am really happy to see this has changed… as is my son who will also use it for learning kanjis… almost 10 years after I spent a cold winter day in Tokyo. We have just ordered them right Today. Hopefully we’ll get them shipped in time for Xmas. Are correct to assume that the games will play properly on ANY NDS, wether bought in Japan or not?

I was wondering whether I should get myself a DS or an electronic dictionary. This looks like so much more fun instead of drills, whereas the dictionary would come in handy when I’m actually in Japan.. Oh decisions.
