It would also be nice to see kanji spellings of words such as 助詞-- they could be ...

The concept of dialectical words going mainstream isn't unheard of in Japan. Everyone knows phrases like 何でやねん and じぇじぇじぇ, and they now have a slightly different feel, whether positive or negative, in Standard Japanese than what they have in their original dialects.
Yet, when we look across Japan, we find many interesting words that would be really helpful or at least cool to have in 標準Ţ...

I have decided to gather a list of commonly used Japanese terminology from the world of programming.
The reason I decided to do this is because there are quite a lot of people who learn Japanese that are into programming in some way, and I am also a programmer.
Throughout this list I will tend to lean more towards terms used in languages used on the web since I am primarily a Web Developer using PHP.
Since programming is a large subject and I am not...

In this blog series I will teach you about 10 Jinmeiyou Kanji each time. Many people falsly believe that Jinmeiyou Kanji can only be used in names, false! Although the majority of Jinmeiyou Kanji have a lot of Nanori, there are still ON and KUN readings that are used constructively to make words. In fact, they are slightly more common than the average Hyougaiji. So, let's begin!
Note: We will be using the recently updated list of the Jinmeiyou Kanji List of 2010 for these blog posts.

For example, in Lesson 90 there is a sentence with the following Kanji.
鉋
Do you know how to read it? If you have learned only all the Jouyou Kanji, you don't. But, it is a simple noun. When given the reading kan'na, which is provided for you, there should be no problem. If you ...
