Alan Watts on making mistakes

Alan Watts observes the problem that Japanese people have with making mistakes. Later he says that playing the piano you shouldn't mind the mistakes but keep the rhythm. Don't block. Freedom equals the freedom to make mistakes.

Best Japanese Vines!

The fastest way to master . . . nothing.

This looks like a site allowing access to radio around the world.

Here's a channel I discovered searching for "Japanese podcast" .

All manga

I started collecting manga in the first half of 2014. I'm using them to learn to read Japanese, and as motivation. I look forward to the day that I'll read them for fun. Most are available second hand for 100 yen, but most of mine I have obtained in 10-copies-for-200-yen lots.

First, a confession. I have accumulated literally cartons of various manga. Far too many to discuss individually. But I'll try to keep some sort of track here. A good source of information about manga is baka-manga updates.

Here, I'll list what I have, and I'll link to where they can be found online (in English). Sites like Kissmanga (perhaps the best), Mangapark, Citymanga, Mangareader, .Mangachapter .Mangasee .Mangago Mangahere There, that will keep me busy!

Enough crazy viewing here . .. https://www.youtube.com/user/begiragons Lots of talking and language in the clip below.

Gacha Bike!

A lot of silly bloke talk. Ideal!

Characterize

This looks great. It's a plugin that replaces the first part of an English word with a kanji to give you reading practice in Japanese while you're reading in English!

You get text that looks like this:
