The following are various sites designed to help you either learn Japanese, learn about learning Japanese, or buy books or CD-ROMs that profess to be able to help you learn Japanese. There are also some more general sites about Japan and life in Japan.
I've compiled this list after nearly minutes of intensive web-browsing. I may, however, have missed a good site or two, so if you have any recommendations, please mail me at kanjisite@kanjisite.com with the address.
