Input is done on the lower screen, while results appear on the top screen -- it's beautiful! There are many other features, too, such as pronunciation of English words, a "Jump" feature for looking up English words, several quiz functions, the ability to save words for later study, and more. About this software product: This is a standard Nintendo DS software cartridge made for the Japanese market. It is compatible with DS hardware (the original DS, DS Lite and the new DSi) from around the world. Note that the software itself and game manual are in Japanese. We recommend that you use this program with other study tools to learn the correct pronunciations for Japanese. Recommended for students with one year of previous study at least. |

| For those who have already mastered katakana and hiragana are already diving into the deep waters of kanji, good reference materials are difficult to find.

Ordered by the Japanese alphabet like a normal Japanese dictionary, you'll be able to look up an expression and find its meaning immediately. The expressions themselves -- and their meanings -- also present a unique way to understand more fully the Japanese character and perspective on life. Colorful and informative, you'll enjoy reading this book of proverbs entirely in Japanese. Perfectbound, 8.25" x 10". 222 pages, full color. Recommended Level: intermediate to advanced, contains no English and no romaji, students must be able to read hiragana and katakana. |

| TUTTLE083 Kata: The Key to Understanding and Dealing with the Japanese |
This item is in stock in San Diego. Weight: 350 g. Price: $14.95
Product type: Japanese Literature
|
|
| In this first book ever to explain why the Japanese think and behave the way they do, veteran Japanologist Boye Lafayette De Mente, author of more than 30 books on Japan, unlocks the mystery of kata - the cultural molds that have traditionally shaped and defined the attitudes, behavior, and character of the Japanese and are primarily responsible for the traits and talents that make them different from other people - to explain what makes the Japanese Japanese, and how it effects all their personal, professional, and political affairs!
In some 70 brief essays, ranging from the "Art of Bowing" and "Importance of the Apology" to "The Compulsion for Quality" and "Exchanging Name-Cards," the author looks at the origin, nature, use, and influence of kata (literally the form and order of doing things) in Japanese life and how this cultural conditioning causes the Japanese to think and react in the way they do. Because all relations with the Japanese are influenced by kata, the key to dealing with the Japanese in personal or business matters requires knowing how and when to induce or compel them to break the kata and behave in a non-Japanese way.

| VWDZ8104 TALES from EARTHSEA ~ Gedo Senki (region 2) |
Number in stock: 2 Weight: 200 g. Price: $58.00
Product type: DVD (*zoned for Region Code 2*)
(What is this?)
|
|
| In the world known as Earthsea, there is a disturbance in the balance of life. Magic is losing its power, crops failing, live stock are dying and two dragons appear to devour each other, a sign that the balance of the world is falling apart. The archemage (greatest of all wizards) named Ged (aka Sparrowhawk) sets out for a journey to discover the reason for this imbalance, leading him to Arran, an exiled prince constantly running from a shadow that fills him with fear. This leads them to a town filled with corruption where addicts walk the streets, and slaves are traded, eventually leading Ged to discover that Cob, an old defeated adversary seeks to open a realm between the living and the dead to exact his revenge.
Gedo Senki (aka Ged's War or Tales from Earthsea) is a film loosely based on the third novel The Farthest Shore of the Earthsea series by Ursula K. Le Guin and is Goro Miyazaki's (the son of the Hayao Miyazaki) directorial debut. The characters are well produced, each one having their own inner conflicts that they must face, and show how they depend on each other's strengths to survive the adventures to come. With the help of the talented Studio Ghibli animation studios, Tales from Earthsea becomes another masterpiece worthy of your collection.
This DVD purchase is for the 2 DVD set which contains the original movie plus a supplementary disc filled with trailers, and films the storyboard sketch drawings played along side the entire audio soundtrack of the movie. Filmed in Widescreen 16:9 format and comes with English subtitles and can be switched between the original Japanese dubbing and English dubbing as well! A must have for any Studio Ghibli fan! Movie runtime 115 mins.
