Daily Japanese

WORK IN PROGRESS.

ANYTHING MARKED WITH A * IS AVAILABLE IN THE TORRENT HERE: http://www.demonoid.me/files/download/2836246/23011122
RESOURCES MARKED WITH > ARE USED IN THE THREADS
TO WRITE SQUIGGLY JAPANESE CHARACTERS, INSTALL THE GOOGLE IME.

Short and sweet Google IME How-To:
   Click the big, blue button
   Click the LEFT button (the check mark is a "send usage statistics to google" thing)
   After a while, IME is installed.
   Control Panel -> Clock, Language and Region -> Change keyboards or other input methods
   Change keyboards: If you only use English and Japanese, remove all input languages.
   Add Japanese (Japan) -> Keyboard -> Google Japanese Input
   To switch between romaji (English keyboard) and hiragana/katakana, use alt+` (just above tab key)
