Publisher's summary

Do you want to learn Japanese but don't know where to start?

Learning a Language can be very difficult and overwhelming if approached the wrong way. Many dive headfirst into learning Japanese, only to shortly quit.

This book is designed to slowly ease you into learning the fundamental speech, reading, and writing of Japanese. I break down the language so you can learn it the way a small child would.

This book teaches you the basics by using simple.

Easy to understand

I have a daughter who is in 3rd grade and we are both trying to learn Japanese before we travel to Japan for 6 months. This book really allowed us to get down the speaking basics, and I feel way more comfortable having basic conversations in Japanese.

I love the structure

This book is layed out perfectly for the average beginner. I can tell that the author has a lot of experience teaching people how to speak Japanese. I also like how this book can be put down and picked back up without missing a beat. The author designed this book to be listened to in short increments.

Simple and easy to understand

If you are someone looking to learn the basics in an easy way this is the perfect book for you. I would listen to this book while I was multitasking and was still able to pick up on the basics. I recommend listening to it 2-3 times if you really want to get the basics down.

Great for begginers

This book goes at a pace that is very beginner friendly. This book eases you into Japanese and it is great for small 15 minute increments. I would typically listen to this book on the car ride to and from work and I feel like it really helped me retain my Japanese Knowledge

Exactly what I needed

I was searching for a book that would allow me to actually have conversations and that is exactly what this book helped me with. I now can have and feel comfortable talking and understanding when people are speaking in Japanese.

Really easy to understand

This book has been GREAT. I really like how it is structured. It starts by helping you learn the basic vocabulary. From there the book goes over common greetings and sayings in the Japanese language, then the author explains KATAKANA and Kanji in detail. The book ends with grammar and common exceptions in the language. It was a great layout and I was able to learn alot by just listening in the car. I recommend listening to this book and having some sort of physical book or workbook to go along with it. Highly Recommend.

Simple and Easy to Understand

Just a really simple audiobook that just about any beginner can learn from. I came in knowing just a little bit of the basics and this audiobook really helped me enhance what I already knew and now I feel much more comfortable in simple conversations.
