Daily Yomiuri News Site

Pera Pera Penguin was a great place for access to grammar lessons! It seems yomiuri.co.jp changed their English website and along with it disappeared all of the Pera Pera Penguin Japanese lessons. Luckily, this Polish website has 88 of the 100 available for download. For those that haven't read these, they are 1 page quick lessons on various topics in Japanese. For example #50 deals with onomatopoeia like どきどき (feeling nervous) and ごろごろ (lie around). Despite being one page, they are surprisingly complete with examples, English explanations, and even a few exercises with answers provided. I recommend downloading all of them since it is uncertain whether or not yomiuri.co.jp will republish them.

You could also access those 88 PDFs here! ^_^
