I was curious if anyone has used BookGate or BookGate Japan for the Ipad? It seems to be an Japanese bookstore app and looked like a possible good way to buy Japanese books directly without the price hike up you get overseas. Wasn’t sure if there is a very good selection or how the purchasing works. Also are there any Podcasts, IPad apps or tablet apps in general that you recommend? Thanks for sharing!

Have you taken a gander at this post on Tofugu?
http://www.tofugu.com/2011/08/03/japanese-and-how-youre-doin-it-wrong-tips-from-john-sensei/As for podcasts, I’m listening to this one: http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/id438036031 .
Since I’m a beginner, I listen for pronunciation more than anything. Also, I get that quick burst of excitement when I hear something I already know such as じゃありません or sometimes random vocab words.
Hope this helped!

Yes, I’ve read the articles and have downloaded Anki, Evernote as well as all the free Japanese Language learning apps I could find in the iTunes store. Since new apps and podcasts are coming out all the time I just wanted to ask if anyone had new favorites to add to the great list that Tofugu already offers.
I did download BookGate Japan from iTunes, which is the Japanese magazines and books translated into English. They had a few interesting offerings and a free book, ‘Discovering Kyoto in Temples and Shrines’. What I liked about the free book is that it had the original Japanese page of text and then when you turn the page, the translated English page. I thought some might find this useful for study material and just interesting in general.
Happy studying to all…I’m off to make up twisted stories that are hopefully mentally traumatizing enough to help burn some Kanji into my feeble memory.
