Tanabata

Tanabata is an online supplement to the Star Festival CD-ROM. By using the internet and its multimedia functions, Tanabata provides you with an interactive graphical interface to learning Japanese.

Tanabata was originally intended for students with at least two years of Japanese, but English translations and Furigana are provided for all of the text, so the most important element should not be skill, but rather interest. The material is unique in that it is based on real life interviews with some very interesting people. There are also games and questions to see how much you have learned.
