Hi everyone !

I´ve decided to work on an overview over materials, internet sites and programs/tools for the Japanese language.
I hope it´s helpful in some way !
First of all: I myself am a beginner. I´m NOT good at Japanese at all ! That´s why I have to depend on all these programs and stuff.
But most of the programs I want to review here are also a help for people that are already pretty good at Japanese.
And another thing: I´m German, so my English isn´t perfect ! Some of the screenshots show only German words, not English, but almost ALL of the programs are for a lot of European languages, not only English or German !
