118 ★ Japanese Language Sites

[itskeitodesu]

I've decided to make a master post of all the Japanese language learning sites that I find, since I'm certain they'll come in handy for me and lots of other people on my F-list as well.  Some of the sites are probably more useful than others but I'll include most of them anyways, since I'm sure there's at least some valuable information on each!
