Hello, everyone! My name is Moon, Young Joon. I am from Korea, so please
forgive my broken English. I am a graduate student of the Electrical
Engineering Department at The Ohio State University.
As engineering student, I can easily access new technology. Due to that
fact, , I could boost my Japanese level in a relatively in short time. What?
Are you asking me how much is a relatively short time?
O.K. Let's look at it this way. One year ago, I could read one Japanese
newspaper article in 5 hours using with dictionaries by traditional methods.
Why dictionaries? I need dictionaries such as the KANJIJISHO to look up
KANJI (Chinese character) and a WAEIJITEN to find out the meaning of the
word.
Whew! You know, that was tough for me. I almost gave up on Japanese.
However, after using the Internet to read Japanese newspapers, I can read
what once took me 5 hours to read in only a scant 3 minutes.
You might be saying, "You're kidding me!" If you can't believe that I could
do this, I strongly recommend that you read this manual thoroughly.
So let's find out how I did it!
