What do you use to study?

What does everyone use to study?

Of course we all use jpod but what other tools do you use?

I use jpod101, KanjiFlip, and JapaneseFlip on the iPod touch, Rikaichan to read Japanese on the computer, the Nihongo Journal, I have 73 editions most of which I have still yet to read, my wife, Japanese TV, Kiten on the computer (Linux), and the J-E dictionary on my cell phone.

I just started using jpod, but before that, I was using Genki 1. I took Japanese for two quarters in college, so I still had the book. I'm still using Genki and flash cards a lot. I have the Kodansha kanji learner's dictionary and the Random House J-E dictionary. I'm still all on pen and paper, sadly...

My Japanese e-penpals and my blog, mainly. (So good).

Then music & Japanese podcasts (Jpod101, but also ones like JOQR - for Japanese people) and I listen to them over and over again, each time being able to understand them more and more.

Sometimes I just search something on sites like Podcastle for a podcast to listen to. I particually loved one I got where they started talking about Japanese tongue-twisters. Interesting.

Books. Usually when writing a blog I use my grammar dictionary, normal dictionaries, etc (I don't do it often, but I should do, actually..).

And finally, movies/TV Shows. When I have the time, I hope to engage myself in them more. I also want to get a Nintendo DS to get Japanese games/tools to help my study! Soon, getting a shadowing book & want to use iKnow.co.jp more, particually to help my speech.

So far i'm using Flash Cards, when i get the chance i'm going to subscribe to Jpod and see if that helps more.
