Japanese - Ask questions thread

Basically if you have a question about the language, ask it and fellow 4channers might see it and answer it for you.

To start it off. When an animate object (iru) dies, is it considered inanimate(aru)?

I'm looking into spaced repetition programs since someone mentioned them. I'm trying out Anki. My question is, is there more of the JLPT vocabulary available? Also, are there some cards for the radicals? Or for any similar program? That would help a lot.

The alternative would finding some list with the radicals on it and inputting that in one way or another...
