About this product

Product Information

Japanese is a wonderful language, very different from European languages. It is also the gateway to the rich culture of the exciting and complex island nation of Japan. Some people get intimidated by the prospect of speaking Japanese-worried that it's just too complex and different-but these fears are unfounded.

    Well organized, well written and easily understood. This book gives one the basics, practice, and confidence in using the Japanese language.

  • Out of date

    Unfortunately, the content of this book is about 15 years old. I didn't realize there would be such a difference between this book and the up-to-date version. It does cover basics, but does not go into depth like I wish it did. Also, the language style is out of date. The way people speak constantly changes (try understanding your child or grandchild, for example). Modern speech in Japan has changed, and it becomes obvious if you watch anime as I do. This book was OK as I got it at a clearance price. But if I had known it was going to be such a difference, I would have spent the extra money for the current version of the book. Stay away from the older version copies. Pay the extra for the up-to-date versions. Not recommended.
