Konichiwa!

Having wanted to learn Katakana for yonks, and having found a decent
games-oriented tutorial page, I thought I should share it for the terminal
Japan-o-philes out there :)

Check it out even if you're not initially interested - did you know that a
lot of what looks like "Japanese" in game menus is actually English spelled
phonetically in Japanese? Only 40-odd characters to learn and you'd be much
better off when you import Japanese games!

Cheers,

Nick F
