NOTES:
- Some resources have reviews (listed as links), and others don’t but I hope to review all of the resources on here eventually.
- If you have any suggestions, message me or reblog with a comment. These aren’t just my suggestions - I want the whole community involved to create an all-encompassing MASSIVE list for Japanese learners at all levels.
- If you have your own reviews, I’ll link them here, too!
- This post will frequently be updated, so check back periodically!Last Updated: 19/10/2013
