TextFugu Online Japanese Textbook Teaching reading IS rocket science - Louisa Moats Before you start reading, and before you start writing, you’re going to learn how to pronounce nearly all the “sounds” of the Japanese language.

This page has been written by Jim Breen (hereafter "I" or "me") and is intended as an overview of the file, with links to more detail elsewhere. Background Way back in 1991 I began to experiment with handling Japanese text in computer files, and decided to try writing a dictionary search program in Turbo C under DOS, which used a simple dictionary file contained in the MOKE (Mark's Own Kanji Editor) package. What is EDICT? EDICT is a Japanese-English Dictionary file. It is a plain text document in EUC-JP coding, with its own format (which has become known as "EDICT-format"). There are now two EDICT versions: the plain EDICT file. The EDICT2 file currently has about 170,000 entries, and the legacy EDICT format has nearly 200,000 entries (many of which are duplicates as all the permutations of kanji and readings generate distinct entries.)
