Well I was able to sort out the problems that I described in my previous post and so now the new katakana quiz can be found here!
I used to have some php scripts for learning hiragana and katakana but they stopped working when I changed servers. I took the change to begin rewriting them (in ruby on rails) and finally I have the first version of the hiragana quiz online. It is still basically the same as the old version but at least the code is much cleaner and I should be able to add new features without too much trouble.
Anyway, the new hiragana quiz can be found here.
Good luck!
UPDATE: The dns problems seem to have been resolved so the quiz is back online again!
I remember reading a book when I was in Infant/Junior School but all I could recall were certain elements: a boy living by a canal with his uncle or aunt, a key that was a black cat, a mountain, and a kitten being thrown in the canal.
I searched and I searched and I found a forum with someone looking for the same thing as me, but they were told that it was perhaps “Magic Mountain”.
Somehow though, I managed to find the book and so I place this information in the google archives just in case someone else is searching for it
The author was Sheila K. McCullagh and the first book was called Tim and Tobias ~ Magic in the Wind. I also discovered a website called “Tim and the Hidden People” (which is where I probably found this missing book) and can be found at www.timandthehiddenpeople.moonfruit.com
I have had some problems redirecting the old site structure to the new one, but now things should be fine. However there are probably a few missing pages that I haven’t noticed yet…
