Learning Japanese - web help
What with all the rain and all, some people may be hitting the books rather than the beaches. Studying Japanese is certainly getting more varied than in the old days. As a change from the books, three great websites that I've come across in the recent past (but admittedly spent little time using) are:
rikai.com for brushing up reading skills.
speedanki.com for great kanji study.
nihongo juku for reading and listening.
Wish these websites had been around 15 years ago to help smooth the pitholed road that I walked. Still stumbling now.

Thanks for the link to nihongo juku. I've been listening to Nippon Voiceblog which also has text and audio (my favorite format for practicing reading). To my disappointment that site hasn't been updated since March 31 so it's nice to have an alternative. I also like the way that nihongo juku includes the vocabulary list.
Text and audio is great, isn't it.
The hyperlinking for kanji in websites such as rikai.com is also a major bonus compared to ten years ago.
You mentioned vocabulary lists and one of the best "old-style" readers I came across in the past was "Read Real Japanese" by Janet Ashby (Kodansha). Great explanations of Japanese vocabulary and expressions on the same page as the Japanese text.
