Japanese Learning Software...

I'd like a Japanese Learning Software that doesn't suck...

I tried that Rosetta Stone one but I really don't like it, they don't explain anything.

I also tried Power Japanese, it was decent. I'd like something with a little more interactivity and differents games to help you learn. Something fun that teach you the basics because I'm a total beginner at this and the hardest part of learning a language is always the beginning (I learned English as my second language, I'm French Canadian).

I know that I'm probably asking the impossible and that a software like this may not exist, but I could do with 2-3 differents software + some sites that have games on them and little programs.

BTW, any good online Japanese Dictionary? And any awesome translation site? I use Eudict, it's pretty good because it tells you the different meaning of the word instead of just having a dumb translation, but I'm sure there's better sites out there.


Thanks in advance.

http://tangorin.com - my favorite online dictionary.

I use this one ( http://www.mahou.org/Dict/ ) to look up the strokes of kanji though, because tangorin seems to be missing the vast majority of them. It looks awfully weabooish, but try to get past that.

 On that note, anyone else have a good site that they recommend for looking up the strokes of kanji?


And in respones to the OP, the best software for language learning that I've ever found is Anki. Definitely the best SRS program in existence, in my oh so humble opinion. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anki

Yo, Chinese-speaking dudes.

How many Hanzi are currently in use in modern Chinese? How many do you know?

>>10
9001

>>11

in total, there's about 100,000 although the average person only learns and uses 6000-7000
i know about 8000-10000

>>12
100,000? Lolwut? The 汉语大字典 itself only has like 55,000.

>>13

Kangxi dictionary, check it. noob.

What the hell do Chinese people do if there's a word they can't write? In Korean, you can just use hangul, and in Japanese you can use hiragana/katakana.

Do people use other hanzi with the same pronounciation or something, or do they just not write it at all?

>>15
you mean like a borrowed word?

>>16
No, I mean like if you don't know how to write the word "aristocrat", but you know the word, what do you do?

>>17

well, if you know the word, you know how to write it, unless your not chinese.

>>18
How about the name of some obscure tree or something?

it would have a chinese name? and just say you dont know the name as you're not a tree surgeon.

>>18
Not true. At all. Dumbass. I've had plenty of moments where even my literate Chinese friends simply blanked on a character.

If it comes with Communism, then no thanks.

>>26
But what if I promise that the Communists will be tsundere for capitalism?

Rosetta Stone, I assume.

>>26
I am a Russian born in USSR. Communism is ok for me.

>>34
