English Pages

Kansai-ben- The best Kansai-ben page there is in English

How to be like a NATIVE KANSAI-JIN - The English page from Mezase Native Kansaijin

Japanese Pages

私的大阪学必修大阪弁講座 Lecture of OSAKA-BEN - Has good definitions and examples of usage

めざせNATIVE関西人 - This is a really nice page. It also has a very funny Kansai version of the balcony scene from "Romeo and Juliet". I love the bit when Juliet whacks Romeo with a halisen after he tells a bad pun. ^v^

OSAKAnize - Type in the URL of any page in Japanese and this page will "Osakanize" it. Now all Japanese pages can sound like they were written by Tasuki. ^v^ I got some interesting results with the "Kimi ga Hohoemu Nara" and "Heart ni Kiraboshi Sakashitare!!" lyrics

[The Beatles in Kansai-ben] - Kansai-ben translations of Beatles' songs

miro99 - Dictionary and links
