    Very helpful!
  

*by T***Q on Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2012*

I am using this book without a teacher and, even though it was designed for a classroom setting, have found it very helpful.-It uses very little Romaji and gradually weens off of that. When it is used in the beginning the letters are much smaller than the kana which is very important if one is planning to truly read and understand Japanese.-The dialogues seam very natural, not a "this is a pen" talking but actually conversational talking. To keep on the lesson if something has not already been learned and doesn't have to do with the session then it is said in English.-The journals are also helpful. They teach more novelistic Japanese along with the manga and conversation taught in the dialogues. In addition they make a textbook seam more like a story which makes it much easier to keep reading.My only cons aren't really important ones:-The dictionary in the back of each session doesn't cover words found only in the dialogue or journal but this can easily be remedied by something like Google Translate or another dictionary. iPhone has a nice free one called Kotoba! which helps when I don't know a word.-The art is HORRIBLE. Someone who isn't into art probably wouldn't care but my friends and I are all very into art and laugh at the art in each section. "Can I do that? Just get a picture and paste an already-used pose on top of it and make money instead of drawing everything every time?"All in all I think this is good for even the very beginners. The first things it teaches are the alphabets and the CD gives everything I sound to pair it with. If you are going to self-study don't expect to just read the book and get everything though. To self study with this you must take notes and practice everything multiple times. It was designed for a classroom setting where you would converse with teachers and peers throughout the lesson in what you have learned so to teach yourself you must do twice what you would in a classroom to make up for lost things, in my opinion. If you can do that though it's really fun. I love learning from this book.Also, if you can find friends to study with you, do it!Totally worth the price. It's fun, has good resources in the back, and is useful. Can't wait until I'm done with Beginner and buy advanced!

    ok

some of the information is incorrect/inaccurate such as telling numbers. The book does showcase great opportunities to practice reading but not speaking Japanese.

    This is not a beginner's beginning book
  

*by V***E on Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2020*

Most Americans do not speak a second language, particularly a language with different orthography.  Students starting from zero should be taking a beginning Japanese class in a school, not trying to decipher kanji and kana, as well as vocabulary and grammar from this book.  However,  If you have had a year of classroom education that has exposed you to writing and reading in Japanese orthography, this book is excellent.  Of course, there is nothing like classroom practice in speaking and writing.  There is also the pressure of the classroom to keep studying.  Nevertheless, this is a unique text book, and I strongly recommend it for the not very beginner beginner, as well as for anyone wishing to review the language in an interesting way.
