Review: This is a great book that breaks down all the details that most textbooks miss. Bought this book to brush up on the skills Ive lost after not using it for 10 years. However if youre JUST starting out it might be a little confusing but itll come easier with practice.

Review: As someone who's been dabbling with learning Japanese on and off, I found this guide incredibly structured and easy to follow. It really does break down everything step by step, from understanding Japan's culture and customs to grasping the intricacies of their writing systems like Hiragana, Katakana, and even some Kanji.What I appreciated most were the 20 units dedicated to practical conversation. Whether it's greetings, asking for directions, or making reservations, it covers real-life situations that beginners like me often worry about. The section on Japanese verbs and conjugation was a lifesaver—I’ve always found that part tricky, but this book made it clear and manageable.The inclusion of cultural context was a bonus, too. I loved learning about traditional Japanese garments, food, and even the theatre, which made the language lessons feel richer and more connected to real life. Plus, having the free audio download made practicing pronunciation so much easier.If you're serious about getting started with Japanese, this book is a comprehensive, no-nonsense resource that really helps you build a solid foundation.
