Mad props, Vid! I pride myself to know everything out there for ALTs but I have never come across that website. Nice find! E for U!

I've added the link to the NEW HORIZON area of the Englipedia website!

That link is on the Englipedia website: CLICK HERE

Don't be too hard on yourself... I let you know about it the same day I uploaded it, so your skills as an ALT resource scourer are intact.

Sorry I wasn't more (any) help with Englipedia. I didn't know enough back then to be able to do anything. Now I have learnt, but it seems there is no longer anything to do... still, if you need any help, drop me a line.

just found this site: THE COLOR
has tons of sketches. the ethnic wear section was very useful for my lesson.

Thanks for the links, they are extremely useful especially when you are up against the wall.

[bum1]

https://www.stupidcensorship.com is a site that allows you to automatically circumvent web filtering software so that you can check your webmail or download an image that the school is blocking with their network. It does not install software on the machine and will only leave a trail in your history (not that any of your co-workers care if you check your email anyway). They do it with outlook express at my school.

Peace

Another good Japanese clipart site, esp. for "Japanesey" stuff (foods, seasons/festivals, school events), and many images are high enough resolution to make A4 flashcards:

Found it when googling for an ebi-fry image

[Otaku]

Thanks, Peet. Added that link to the website links.

[moolooman]

I happened accross this website. What I particularly like is the fact that is has good meaty worksheets, which can be made easier if you want. The content is relevant and recent.

That is awesome. Thanks Mooloo on that find. Am going to start using it immediately.

Hapilab is a great flashcards and karuta site for elementary. JHS too I guess.

http://hapilab.obunsha.co.jp/

Japanese only tho. If you cant read it you can just click enough in the tab menu and you will find what you need. All different sizes and what not. Flashcard categorical is tab 3

Thanks, SDB. I had that link already on the main website but only on the Clipart area of the off-site links. Adding it to the flashcard area now. Thanks!
