| On Line Dictionaries of Chinese and Japanese Characters |
|
This is an on-line dictionary which has inputs in the Hakka, Mandarin, Cantonese, Sino-Korean, Sino-Japanese, and a whole host of other inputs. Well worth a visit. GIF character format. Chinese, Japanese and Korean (Hanzi, Kanji and Hanja) Characters resource. Requires Japanese Shift - JIS software interpreter. The format is the characters and their interpretation appear in the same page as all other characters with the same radical. It does NOT require and interpreting software as characters are displayed via GIF format. A good place to find archaic characters in Ming Ti type.

Learn some Japanese here! Love the backgrounds. Shinji takes you through the basics of Japanese writing, and grammar. All characters are sent out in GIF format, so you don't have to worry about encoding. He also has dowloadable zip files of the very pages in the site, so you can learn at your leisure. On the same page, you'll find lots of very good links to things Japanese. They're trying to put classic Japanese reading material onto the net in encoded form. Use a piece of software which can read either JIS, SJIS, or EUC. A very extensive site. Chok-a-blok with nearly everything you wanted to know about the place. |

It has a comprehensive list of all its own newpages, though older external links may not work, if you dig into their archive Icelandic grammar has got to be one of the most difficult in the world; nearly everthing is declined and conjugated. Cheaper than buying it, comes from a number of good sources, such as Einarsson's Icelandic, and G.T. Glendenning's Teach Yourself Icelandic. A site with top marks! The quintissential site for all books Icelandic and Iceland related. Site has an English and Icelandic version. |
