    Sign up to here: http://www.freejapaneselessons.com/ They're excellent with getting you into the groove of Japanese. As for Japanese words, you have here (Word translators, Kanji radicals etc.) And us :D Here's a few tips:

    Kanji are special type of words, that have a series of what is called "Radicals". the Kanji by Radical section finds Kanji by their recognised radicals. Kanji have a series of different meanings, as far as I know: 900 =P Here's a few I know:

    私 - Watashi, meaning I, myself.
    砂 - Suna, meaning sand
    愛 - Ai, meaning love
    風 - Kaze/Fuu, meaning wind
    火 - Ho/Hi, meaning Fire

    And you just have to get used to them ^^ Hope I helped :D

    A kanji has only one radical. They have several 部首.

    And you can do all of that on this site, no need for any freejapaneselessons.com

    I recommend buying Remembering the Kanji by Heisig if you want to understand and remember kanji though.

    Kanji are special type of words


    Kanji are not words.. they are characters, like a, b, c... the difference being that each kanji has a meaning where our characters don't.

    We don't like spammers on this forum, you don't have to post that crappy site in all of your posts "brad". Who would seriously use a site which considers "basic Japanese sounds" intermediate Japanese anyway?
