Language Learning Tip:You can print any Japanese language article to continue your Japanese language learning away from the computer! Just make sure that your printer orientation setting is set to "landscape" to ensure that all the text is printed. Also, the Japanese text in hiragana, katakana, and kanji characters may take a moment to load, so please be patient.
