The Japanese Language Study Thread

I'd love to learn it, but just looking at this page proves how  hard it is to learn Japanese

I'm fluent in Chinese, for the most part (which is not Japanese, I'm aware) and I use http://www.yellowbridge.com/chinese/chinese-dictionary.php to check the characters. Chinese characters are 'Kanji', or 漢字 which I'm guessing is what Kanji looks like in Kanji. The meanings for the characters are the same, so perhaps you could use it... Also http://www.zhongwen.com/ I use for the character trees, which you'll see on the right-hand side of the page. It's very useful if you'd like to know how certain characters are compounded from other smaller characters.

In the sentence 手紙を日本へ送る, why is を between 手紙 and 日本? Neither of those are verbs, and を designates the direct object of a verb, right?

^ Same things actually. 

And Apsalar, "feel like home" is "家庭的です" in Japanese ("like" is "...のような" or "...的" I consider).
私は一年間ロシアで生活しましたが、家庭的でした。

女性たち　

私は一年間ロシアで生活しましたが。How do you say "it feels like home" ? All the ways I was coming up with were very long winded.

^ Oh, please take care. (無理しないで)
What is awesome in Russia? (ロシアの何が凄いのですか?)
