  • The BEST source for learning Japanese!

    I purchased this book after trying several other books and resources for learning Japanese. This is BY FAR the best Japanese instruction tool I have seen. Many books on the subject are too complicated for the typical everyday person on the street to pick up and understand. Let's face it, unless you're a college professor, writer or student currently immersed in the terminology of grammar, you're going to end up like I did; spending valuable time going online to look up what all their overly elaborate terminology means before you can even apply it to understanding its context. I don't want to have to learn more English just so I can understand how to tackle Japanese. But Japanese From Zero 1 is immediately understandable, entertaining and downright exciting to learn from! In the first chapter alone I was already reading and understanding sentence structure and context; something I'm sorry to say took many confusing hours with lesser books; trying to comprehend the instruction of wordy authors more interested in showing off their own vocabulary than imparting that knowledge to the student. There are many resources that are fine for reinforcing knowledge already gained, and some are helpful in one area over another. But for the all-around learning experience that's best for beginning students of Japanese, Japanese From Zero is the best. Once I started on the first book of this series, I immediately bought books 2-4 as well, knowing that I would have all the foundation I'd need to be reading, writing and speaking Japanese in the shortest amount of time possible. Don't be fooled by come-on titles of books that claim to teach you Japanese in a few weeks or months. Unless you have a photographic memory or an extraordinary natural skill for languages, you're not going to retain what you learn. To learn a language properly, you have to do more than merely memorize and endless list of words and phrases; you have to comprehend them and how they're put together. Japanese From Zero gives you that knowledge in simple, understandable terms. From sentence structure and pronunciation to the use of particles (which is kind of a biggie for learning Japanese) with a few interesting cultural tidbits tossed in, it all comes together in a very logical, compelling and entertaining way. And as you progress through the book, it keeps the stuff you've already learned fresh by reviewing and reinforcing it in your mind with fun exercises throughout. Before I bought this book, I had already memorized Hiragana and Katakana, and numbers 1-10, which isn't exactly a huge foundation for learning such a complex language, but it's far more than I ever needed with this approach to Japanese. This book is perfect for any beginner, whether you have previous knowledge and understanding of the language or not. And if you have intermediate skills, there are more books in the series for more advanced students. This book is fun. It makes me want to learn Japanese and I'm always excited to see what the next lesson has to teach me. I can't remember when I've been so enthusiastic about something so daunting as this fascinating and beautiful language. Buy this book, you will NOT regret it!
