Reddit mentions of Japanese Verbs: Saying What You Mean

It was years since I used it, so unless there is a 2011+ version I don't know about, all I remember was it treat you like a child, not in a intuitive way, in a 'Fucking hurry up this is so patronising and pointless' way.

I think it has a kanji mode but seems more set up for romaji which will hold you back. Ideally you need something with hiragana at first then kanji+furigana. Otherwise you have no way of 'reading' kanji phonetically to know how to pronounce them and check what you hear is what you see. 'simple eg you hear and repeat zunami but its actually pronounced and spelt tsunami'

It throws random vocab then sentances without much teaching of the grammar point.

Like I said, just watch a few videos of it on youtube see if you like the way it teaches. In-game footage if I can call it that, not its own promotional material stuff.

I am only lower intermediate myself so can't comment too far on the thoroughly part.

Once you have basic sentances and a bank of vocab down is were most plateau. I pushed past it by reading into grammar and starting to try write things myself

lang-8.com is free and great you write Diary/Journal/Random posts in Japanese, and fluent speakers or other learners correct it for you line by line. They can add or remove words, strikethroughs, little comments. You can save comments to your 'scrapbook' to review later, tag them. All sorts.
You earn back points by correcting peoples English in their journals.
You can add friends and DM and swap skype details too as everyone is friendly and there for language and culture swap.

I learnt so much from [this blog](http://ww8.tiki.ne.jp/~tmath/language/jpverbs/index.htm
) that I bought his book


There are tons of sites for online flash card based things
I used the premium of renshuu.org for swotting up for an exam and it helped a lot.




I also like to watch youtube videos, just randomly search intermediate Japanese. Watch the japanesepod101 freebies and follow vloggers like victor - japaneseformorons

Other sites I like are
victors dog - maggie-sensei
smart.fm now called iknow

When you are more comfortable posting make a ameblo blog and interact with Japanese people in the chat rooms and communities there by finding interests in common.

To keep it interesting I mix up all the different ways I 'study' so it doesn't feel like study anymore.
I'll try read a japanese fashion mag, watch some j-drama or a film, watch random videos on youtube etc


It also taught me there is a HUGE difference between textbook Japanese and what real people say!
