How To Use This Website (使い方)
1. Go to a blog post and try to read the blog entry with using Rikaichan/Rikaikun and/or the vocabulary list provided below the paragraph. This way, your frustration level stays low (hopefully!) while you are reading the entire entry. *nihongonavigator.com/rikaichan/

2. If you get the gist of the text, great job!
3. You might feel "unsatisfied" just with the gist of the text but don't worry. The point of this website is to allow you to 1) get your eyes used to reading Japanese texts, 2) learn vocabularies that are not covered in a typical Japanese textbook, and 3) enjoy reading in Japanese.
4. Each entry has a YouTube link that reads the passage. You can work on your speaking fluency by shadowing the audio. *enunciate.arts.ubc.ca/japanese/intonation/shadowing/
That's all! Most of the entries have a web link that provides more information about each topic. You are encouraged to open the link and read what's there using Rikaichan/Rikaikun and learn something new. I hope this website serves as a bridge that gets you from "created learning materials for language learners" to "real materials designed for Japanese native speakers".
