Namiko’s Japanese Blog
Namiko's Japanese Blog is a part of About.com's section on Japanese Language and Culture. She typically blogs weekly about aspects of culture or language, and her blogs are available in English, Japanese, and romaji. They're very interesting for anyone interested in Japan, or students of the language. The translation makes this a very valuable resource! Namiko also explains "beginner's phrases" at the end of each entry. Of course, there are also a host of other resources available, too.
