Yeah that Japanese app for iPhone is a real lifesaver. Other good ones are Japanese Flip and Kanji Flip. But Japanese has flash cards built in too if you dig deeply enough. The best way to advance in Japanese is to learn Japanese grammar, forget about Kanji for now. Grammar is what is going to let you piece together…
Fight slimes, save a princess, learn Japanese! http://lrnj.com/ I took Japanese for one semester and as far as I remember, this game was helpful for written stuff. You fight monsters which ask you Romanji's of Katakana, Hiragana and Kanji letters.

Thanks Equil. Do you mean grade as in 'school grade', or grade as in JLPT? The app I'm using organises lists for both school level and JLPT. £6.99, it's here: http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/japanese/id290664053?mt=8 I use that for Kanji, and I used this to learn Hiragana/Katakana.…
I've been just starting out to learn Japanese myself, so I thought I would drop in. Does anyone know any good Japanese learning podcasts? I'm currently at the stage when I'm learning how to write and read hiragana and katakana, so I'm trying to get a strong vocabulary and perhaps get a better understanding of the grammar.…
