This page contains miscellaneous tools I found useful for learning
Japanese. The tools on this page were developed while I
was taking Japanese 50a, 50b and 58a at the Santa Rosa Junior
College here in Santa Rosa, CA.
Flash cards on this page are 1.5 by 3 inches. They are designed to
be cut along lines on each sheet and have a hole punched in them,
then attached toghether with a key ring. The cards below are available
from www.jbox.com and I found them to be very useful.
In some cases the pages are divided into Kanji and Canna cards. In these cases,
the cards use Canna as one side and Kanji as the other.
All these pages were created in Adobe PDF (Portable Data Format).
The reader is available from Adobe for free. See the link at the bottom of
the page if you need it. I have tested these on Acrobat versions 5 and
6. In most cases, your browser is already configured to handle .pdf files
and you can just load and print directly.
Please let me know of any problems.

This is a page on Japanese Counters.
It has many of the common counters in Hiragana and Kanji. I've
tried to organize the information in such a way that's easy to find
the counters and so that exceptions to the common pronounciation
patterns are obvious.
