I do not have any software or whatever to link to, but I do have a few helpful sites that I use. (I am also trying to learn Japanese)

I purchased a few things related to learning Japanese.

Here are some links to helpful stuff:



Dictionaries and other stuff:

Learn Japanese audio files (They are by Pimsleur I think)

I think you are only able to download one file at a time and use only one connection per file if using a download manager.

Konnichiwa minasan,
watashiwa nihongono benkyoushimasu.Hunted thanks for the post.Listening is definitely an area of interest for students of nihongo and there is a new site called http://japanesepod101.com/ where one can hear a lot of japanese at different levels with meanings and explanations.I will soon compile a list of resources and post them here.
Keep posting and sharing information.

look on emule/edonkey for pimsleur japanese stuff. I found 3 sets of audio lessons and that covers a lot of material slowly but thoroughly.
(I think the pimsleur stuff is in archives and/or cd images)

I had my hands on some books by MangaJin, called learning japanese through comics. It was the most helpful tool I have found yet. Unfortunately I lost it in my last move but if you can track it down then pick it up.

[renusa]

Mangajin might be available as back dated issues.Check out their website http://www.mangajin.com
They could also be available for D/L someplace.Got to check up on that.
What is definitely available for D/L is a book called Kanji de Manga which is basically teaching basic Kanji through a comic book approach.

I found a game. Small file called Knuckles in China Land. I just started it but it seems ok. The only problem is though is dosent have sound. Its like an RPG.

What about chinese ? As i found out when i tryed to translate in many different translators i always had different results for same name. Any really really good to chinese translators ?

[renusa]

I presume that you are asking about chinese translator software or websites.What i have seen with reference to japanese translation is that you have to get the kanjis right to get the proper translation.Getting a very good translation through translation software is difficult because these languages have multiple meanings for different Kanjis.

i found a program called wenlin that was good for translating and learning mandarin. I'm not sure where you could find it though (I got the cd from a friend)
