i just discovered the best Japanese-software! it is called rikaichan !!!!
it is free, and only takes a few minutes to download/setup.
when you turn it on, all you have to do is move your mouse over a japanese word or kanji and it automatically displays a pop-up box containing the definition! for the kanji, it also displays the radicals, and gives example words containing that kanji!!
(it only works on the mozilla browser, but mozilla is also free)
anyway, it is a miracle! a translation tool that is also a learning tool! fuck!!!!!!!!!! if i had had this when i first started learning japanese, i would have learned a million times faster.
USE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
