Review: Very Effective - Extremely Practical - and FUN - At am just learning japanese for an upcoming personal trip. I have finished learning my kana (hiragana and katakana), and was hoping to expand my vocabulary. I had previously bought the Russian 10 minutes a day, and it introducted to the russian alphabet; so at first I was a bit disappointed when all words were in Romaji and there is no kana or kanji (only a handful). However, after being impressed with the usefulness of the book I realized that it served its purpose and that if practical vocabulary is what you're looking for this is the book for you - again, note that since there is NO kana, you won't recognize the words if written in their native languate (kana & kanji) - but you should understand them - for most of us this is 80% of what we're looking for anyway for casual travel. The CD room is too good, so I got upset that is was relatively little content. The exercises were so well done that it was frustrating that it covered only a limited amount. I guess these are suggestions for future enhancements. but the author did do an excellent job, she should consider a japanese in 30 minutes a day or a volume 2 follow-up. So yes, I recommend this to anyone who has NO prior japanese language knowledge and wants to learn some practical words to help them get around! In the meantime, I'll be looking for more releases from the author ;-) Review: Must been at least 14 plus to understand - Easy and clear and the online app is easy to use

Useful for novices, and a possible activity book for more advanced students
I read previous reviews and knew what I was getting. This product is great for beginners to get a sense of the sound of Japanese words. Memorizing the words and phrases in the book will be most helpful to the casual tourist to Japan, or the American that meets a Japanese tourist in the U.S. I took three semesters of Japanese at a local community college so I turned this book into an activity by writing-in the Hiragana or Katakana versions of the words plus applicable kanji. Try it, you'll like it.

Great for begginers
The book will not teach you kanji or katakana, that pictograph japanese written language we commonly see and which are very hard to begginers to learn. Actually, you will learn the Rลmaji (system of spelling Japanese using the roman alphabet), to familiarize you with the language sound, pronunciation and vocabulary. Also, lots of pictures, games, puzzles and stick-on labels make learning Japanese easy and fun. Highly recommended to start the first step in Japanese.

Japanese in 10 minutes a day
I really like this book, it's a good place to start while learning a new language. It teaches the basic words and phrases that are very helpful if you plan to visit a foreign country. The attached CD is also very useful for beginners (I just wish there were more of them included). The book contains exercises, games, quizes, flash cards and sticky lables for building vocabulary. It's like a school workbook but more interesting and with better explanations.
