learning Japanese

I've decided to put more effort into learning this language. I think it will be a good idea to share some of the links to basic free lessons that I have found: 1. Nice website starts from basics 2. Another very basic site 3. This is more detailed (also has information on how to write the characters of Kanji) 4. Not a great site but you can check out the forums Japanese readings : short stories for kids another digital library
