| | DS6449 Beautiful Kanji Training | Number in stock: 2 Weight: 200 g. Price: $55.00
Product type: NINTENDO DS
| | | Another amazing concept for Nintendo DS, this is a new game that teaches you to write beautiful kanji characters in Japanese. To use it, put the cartridge in your Nintendo DS and boot the game, and turn your DS on its side like a book. There are four choices at the main menu: Writing Check (which tests your ability to write characters with the proper stroke order, with several options); Daily Beautiful Kanji Training, regular practice for writing more beautifully; Everyone Beautiful Kanji, a party game for 2-6 players in which a group of people can compete to write, with options for limiting the character level to third grade or sixth grade; and Beautiful Kanji Dictionary, which lets you write your own characters and get advice on how to make them more beautiful or teach you how kanji characters came to mean what they mean. The game is special because it acts just like a Japanese teacher, patiently correcting the characters you get wrong, fixing stroke order or circling in read points you need to notice. A really amazing tool for students of Japanese! About this software product: This is a standard Nintendo DS software cartridge made for the Japanese market.

There are many different dictionaries, each one made for a specific purpose in mind, but none more comprehensive and powerful as the Kenkyusha Daijiten.

Including all English from Shakespeare to the IT age, this Sixth Edition, edited by Shigeru Takebayashi, this 2890 page book contains over 260,000 entries attempts to include as many English words as possible, including medical and scientific terms -- it will be a daunting task to find an English word that is not translated in this book. Considered to be THE reference book for scholars and translators, this dictionary is intended for those who already have some knowledge of kanji, looking to expand their word useage out of the common and everyday. A huge hardcover book, this is 8.25" x 11" and 3" thick, and comes in a protective cardboard sleeve. Please note: although we can send this to you via your preferred method of shipping, we highly recommend shipping via EMS. Recommended Level JLPT 2 and up.
