Where can I find inexpensive teaching supplies/resources?We Answered:
www.schoolspecialty.comIt's smartest to buy bulk items from here...like pencils, whiteboards, watercolors, etc. It's reasonably priced for other items like classroom organization and decoration. What is really great about it is that they have everything you would possibly need.
www.teachercreated.com
This is my favorite stuff for classroom decoration and ideas. The prices aren't "cheap" but are reasonable, once again.
You may also want to visit your local Target (if you have one). At my local Target, they currently have tons of teacher items and school supplies in the 99 cent bin. I know WalMart does similar promotions so you may try them as well.
As for books and resources of this nature, I like Scholastic. I use the points I receive from book orders that students place to purchase resource books, books for my classroom library and other materials for classroom use.
www.scholastic.com
Half Price Books is also a great resource if you have one your area. They have an education section in which there are many used resource and idea books for teachers as well as a children's section with tons of books for every age at very low prices.
Good luck!

Self teaching resources for Japanese?We Answered:
I wonderful site I've started reading to help me learn is http://www.alljapaneseallthetime.com/blog/about the idea's on this site give a WONDERFUL method to learning Japanese, it could be implemented for any language really but it is aimed at Japanese. Another website I use is http://www.guidetojapanese.org/ this claims to have just about 90% of the Japanese grammar on it. I've read through the entire thing and rarely find something that is not explained on this site. The explanations are spectacular and it even has example sentences for every concept which help so much in understanding what is being said.To learn the kana I highly suggest the book "Remembering the Kana" by James Heisig (sp?) Amazon link here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/4889960724?ie=UTF8&tag=alljapanallth-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=4889960724
Unfortunately I never got to use this book, I learned the kana the old fashioned way before finding this book but I bought it for some of my friends and they find it VERY useful. I've heard stories about people learning all of the kana in only a few days using this book, so I highly suggest it.
As for the alljapaneseallthetime site (the first one I linked you) I suggested reading through all of the main posts and just picking out what you think would work for you. Don't ditch it right away, the first two sections are a little repetitive and almost insulting at parts but the base ideas are good. It gets a lot better later on with some very good ideas. Just take what you think would work for you and implement it. The best advice I can really give to anyone learning a language, and this can go for anything really, try different methods for everything. Do research on your own and find what works best for you, give everything a shot and see how it works for you. If something doesn't work then just ditch it, but if it does well hey, you just found yourself a useful tool. Most things, especially with language learning, don't take a lot of effort to give a shot. So try everything and find out what works best for you.
I hope this was helpful. : )
Edit: If you want a textbook I would suggest Elementary Japanese by Yoko Hasegawa, Tuttle publishing. This and the series Genki (I don't know the author or publishing company, sorry) are the only textbooks that I found worth while. If you're going to go this route I personally suggest Elementary Japanese over Genki, but people complained that it was boring and dragged out I guess. I personally really liked it and thought the explanations were wonderful. Most people seem to like Genki, I personally didn't but hey, to everyone their own. Also, I would only suggest using a textbook in the beginning of your studies, past that they just get confusing and tend to mislead you. So if you're going to use a textbook, once you're finished with the basic volumes, use the sites that I already gave you. They're much better. Trust me, I've found this out the long way hehe. : )
