Review #29 | Yomitan | Learn Japanese For Free

 This review is forYomitan. I would recommend it for all levels of learners. An extension for dicitionary tools on webpages. Useful for finding out about the grammatical and other lingusitical and stroke order (www) of Japanese vocabulary you come across online. Also available for PDFs and is mostly open source so you will find it to be, saucy.

What

Yomitan refers to the dictionary browser extension which operates as the actual legacy of what Migaku once was RIP. The extension is basically compiled nowadays on Chrome at least of a sort of mix of the term that you have highlighted in the webpage. It will give additional lexical entries for major Japanese-English dictionaries including their entry forms, then give their grammatical inclinations. There is also an entry for the  opensource dictionary service Jitendex. There are also additional slang forms and stroke order options in some words. 

Different forms are provided, with more information about definition and additional semantical information. Examples and example sentences are also provided below. Audio files are also available.

Useful for people wanting to practice Kanji comprehension, stroke order, voacbulary and reading comprehension.

Where

Online at  https://yomitan.wiki/

To get the tool used on a webpage, hold down shift on highlighted text.

You can get it from the playstore or just typing it into your preferred search engine, Google seems to be on the decline, SEO especially lately. So be wary.

Who

The creator of Yomitan is Alex Yatskov of Foosoft Productions as Yomichan.

Yomitan is maintained by the TheMoeWay community.

These all have many, many people involved in these projects whom I would love to highlight if they wish to be.

When

Available even offline, as I have annoyingly found out it pops up every time I click on a Youtube video.

Why

Useful for checking vocabulary. Not useful for when you have deadlines and multiple keyboards on your work and home computers.
