Hi minna-san,
I decided to create a new thread for these, even though I had one before this, but I didn't like the subject title of the other thread because it didn't say the correct thing I wanted. It made it hard to tell what kind of websites I found, and sounded like they were just in Japanese. So... that's why I am reposting these. Besides, I just added a new site at the end, anyway. Oh, and I had to update old links anyway. Some sites moved.
So...
Here are a bunch of links for learning and having fun with Japanese that I decided I'd share with everyone. I've compiled the list below. I hope you all enjoy them! I'll add to it, if I find more sites.
Have fun everybody!
The Links
----------
Hiragana listening quiz
http://www.okayama-u.ac.jp/user/int.../hiragana2.html
This link does work, but not here on this page for some reason. I just checked to make sure it worked.
If you go to the Samurai Forum here, to my thread on this same thing, that one at least works, if any of you can't get the url to work.

Fun site all in hiragana. This is a hiragana game where you have put the character that is given together correctly(The one that is spit out...you'll see if you watch it long enough., and click on the correct character below that matches it to make a word. Also, in the left hand margin, are more games to choose from. Just click to see what they are.

Here is a cool page with lots of good links to reading and listening to Japanese...not romaji, but the characters. It's even got little manga stories on one site they list. Just look around to see what site is for you.

Here is a page all in Japanese. These are stories to practice reading Japanese. They are mostly in Hiragana.
I can't read them yet, but someone here may want this anyway.

And, one last site all in hiragana. It is a website meant for kids, but that's ok, because it gives a person a good chance to practice
reading skills to play the little games. And, you can even listen to video clips! That is in the upper left hand corner of the page.
Just click on stuff to try the games.

I have this new link to add....
This new site is a vocabulary list of words written in Kanji in the first column, and Hiragana in the second column. In the third, there is the English translation, and in the last, there is a photo for each word to click on to view. It's a fairly long list of words, but is only one page. But, it is still helpful to some extent. There is no romaji on this page.
