Customer Reviews

Pretty good book!
This book is pretty good to learn Japanese with. You definitely want to get some audio from another source or purchase the audio CDs (I have not tried those). As well, I got the accompanying workbook. Do not get it unless you have some instructions or the lab CDs of some kind. You could still work with it, but there are pages that ask you to write based on what you hear. So overall, book makes it simplistic to learn Japanese and ease into the alphabets, but be sure to get another source for audio learning.

Japanese Homework Work Book 1
This product was very helpful in keeping my daughter lessons from school fresh in her mind. It helped with her writing and translation from English to Japanese and reverse.

School Quality Textbook
My daughter used this for her high school Japanese class. We purchased it so she can keep up with her Japanese, and I'm now learning as well. It looks like a great textbook and I'll be using it soon.
