www.hiragana.jp/en/: Furigana

Again and again I cannot stress how lucky people are nowadays to have the internet as a resource for learning Japanese.

Hiragana.jp/en/ is a great tool for learning to read Japanese.It is not really for the beginning student or someone just looking to learn conversation.    Simply enter the URL of the Japanese site that you are trying to understand, click “GO” to see that exact page displayed with furigana above the Kanji.  (for those of you who may not know what ‘furigana’ is:  Furigana is the ‘Hiragana’ displayed above kanji).

Once your kanji starts getting better, you probably can just use Rikaichan to help you read Japanese websites.

I’d like to thank Shiro from Lang-8 for recommending yet another awesome site to learn Japanese.

    I actually think that the link posted above is really helpful especially if you for combination of different things. If you don't know what a kanji means, then just look up the hiragana above the kanji and you will be more familiar with that kanji.
