The quicker you learn Japanese, the quicker you'll be to possible personal contact with Hello Project members. Just sayin'...
wew... still i didn't get it how to remember those hiragana n katakana...
A nice thing is that they try to give you reminders that will help you associate the kanji's shape to its meaning.
here is very good software : Atlas V12.
Translator English-Japanese, Japanese-English:)
But it also does E->J, which Google doesn't do.

Very cool. I want to learn to read and write Japanese. There is so much stuff here, it looks possible. First, I want to be able to speak fluently, then tackle the writing. This looks like a great thread to come back to.Indeed it does. Thanks to all who have contributed in this thread, it's appreciated.
is this a movie or an audio?
That listening section was just...SLOOOOOOOOOOOOW.
Script:
男：顔色が悪いですよ。どうしたんですか。
女：ええ、ちょっと具合が悪いんです。明日、午前中に病院へ行ってきてもよろしいですか。
男：ええ、かまいませんよ。
Question:
Pick the correct sentence based on the conversation (script):
1. 女の人は明日男の人を病院に行かせてあげます。
2. 女の人は明日男の人に病院に行かせてもらいます。
3. 女の人は明日男の人に病院に行ってもらいます。
My guess was 3, "she had him take her to the hospital", but the answer key tells me that the correct answer is 2. I can not really wrap my head around the construction of causative + てもらう. "She had him make her go to the hospital"...? Is that what it says? So clunky D: I'd appreciate it if someone could dumb this down for me, I really want to understand this.
3. 女の人は明日男の人に病院に行ってもらいます
This one is just wrong because 行って makes no sense in the context of this sentence. If it had been 連れていってもらいます it would have made sense since in that case it would mean she had him take her to the hospital.
