JET and JET-related sites: JET Programme – the official JET Program Website. Offers information for anyone interested in participating in the program. JETAA – The Japan Exchange and Teaching Alumni Association. An international organization for former and current JET members. Provides some good information, including lots of first-hand accounts of JET life. JET Program for American Citizens – By the Japanese Embassy in Washington, D.C. Provides some detailed info for, you guessed it, American citizens who want to apply to JET. JET Tanuki.com – This guy is my inspiration. Check him out! Japanese language reosurces: Jeffrey’s Japanese-English Dictionary – My favorite online Japanese-English dictionary … actually, my favorite Japanese-English dictionary period. Even provides a Kanji lookup. However, like any in-depth resource, it can get a little complicated. Use this version of the site if you can’t read kana or if your browser doesn’t support Japanese. Hirigana/Katakana Drill – A guy who took Japanese at my college (WVU) wrote a neat little program that lets you test your kana knowledge. Great for people who are trying to improve their kana recognition skills. It has a few little bugs, but it’s free. Follow a link on this page to download. WVU Japanese Program – In honor of Nō sensei and Minami sensei, I’m gonna link to this. It’s the homepage for the few, yet close-knit teachers, students (and prospective students) in the Japanese department of WVU (after all, Japanese is a language you study only if you’re really interested in it, unlike Spanish, which you take because it’s easy and you need X semesters of a FL).
