I recently bought a Nintendo DS Lite. It's awesome. I've got a kanji dictionary for it, and also a kanji game.
Things I'm learning:
right-handed = みぎきき
left-handed = ひだりきき
screen = 画面(がめん)
assignment = 課題(かだい)
stroke order? = 書き順(かきじゅん)
learning = 学習(がくしゅう)
drill = ドリル (this katakana is really confusing for us English speakers!)
to check = 確認する(かくにんする)
And that was just in the opening explanation!

Correct My Japanese If You Please #1
I left this message on my roommate's voicemail. Can you figure out what's wrong with it? If so, please leave a comment with the correction.
あひた、車が必要じゃありません。Westminsterへいきないから。
妹が8時半でひっこしするになります。早すぎると思います。だから行きません。
今ジョージと遊びます。1時間ぐらいの後で会いましょう。
I will follow this post up with the correct Japanese later, so check back in 12 or so hours for the correction (and the English translation) in the comments.
