Useful Japanese Sites

It's been a long time. Two whole years! I haven't seen this site for TWO whole years!

Anyway :)

Found a list of useful Japanese sites and thought I could share should anyone wish to find them:


Yamasa Institute - Online Kanji Dictionary for Kanji Stroke Order


You may search for the desired kanji either by:

+ typing in the kanji / copy + pasting the kanji into the search box +

+ searching for the Japanese word and clicking on the kanji in question +

+ searching for the Japanese translation of the English word and clicking on the desired kanji +

+ refer to the JLPT kanji list (old list) +


Jim Breen's WWWJDIC

Site for text glossing. It translates a sentence or a paragraph to the most likely meaning (usually accurate, some discretion may be necessary).


Space ALC

An English-Japanese translator. Best used with Jim Breen's WWWJDIC - Text/Word Glossing site. Actually, a lot of Japanese-related sites are best used with Jim Breen's WWWJDIC.
