Japanese pop-up dictionary with pitch accent?
Hi, I use Rikaichan/Rikaikun at the moment but I'm not sure how to turn on pitch accent if it has it. Does anyone use a pop-up dictionary that has pitch accent, by any chance?

How do I say "stay hydrated" in japanese?
I am designing a tshirt with a friend and we wanted to put some japanese on it.

We want to have a skeleton inside a water bottle and the text should read "stay hydrated" and we got...

I just had a conversation with two Russian people in Japanese.
I met two Russian people who were running a booth at a festival. One greeted me and tried to converse with me in English, but it soon became apparent that that wouldn’t get us very far. So, we switched to Japanese, and made small talk for a few minutes before I made my purchase....

Sharing a small win
I’ve been semi-casually studying Japanese for around 5 years. I currently live in Japan, but since I already have a remote job for an English-speaking software company, I’ve never had an interest in getting a job for a Japanese company, and having a good level of Japanese was really only ever a matter of convenience and...
