Book Description

080879549X 978-0808795490 August 1996 1st
This is a workbook intended to accompany an introductory Japanese language course. It is a self-paced program with study sheets, worksheets on how to write and read Hiragana, and 2 practice quizes. The workbook is paced to be covered in 15-25 hours of instruction. Each worksheet presents a sufficient number of Hiragana and their combinations for beginning level students to practice. Unlike the methods used in traditional language classes, this workbook teaches you to read and write from day one. Approximately 580 Hiragana words are introduced. The workbook is prepared by language specialists who understand the logic and psychology behind language learning.

5.0 out of 5 stars "User Friendly" Japanese Reading/Writing Workbook, May 4, 2000
This review is from: Handy Katakana Workbook (Spiral-bound)
The author (Dr. Shimazu) is as fluent in English as he is in Japanese. His book creates a "read between the lines" ideal that I found useful in understanding the Japanese culture, which is the gateway to learning this language. I have compared it to other workbooks of this type, and find that it has a much higher level of communication for a beginning student. Shimazu is a masterful teacher, and his book thoughtfully and artistically conveys his creativeness in a manner which is very useful to the student.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very user-friendly, November 26, 2006
This review is from: Handy Katakana Workbook (Spiral-bound)
This book clearly and coherently takes you through the steps of learning both hiragana and katakana. The side-by-side format allows you to learn both alphabets at the same time. The book also provides useful hints for language learning.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good for beginners, January 31, 2010

This review is from: Handy Katakana Workbook (Spiral-bound)
Anyone who wishes to begin the long journey of learning the Japanese language can start here. This handbook provides the basics of the two main writing "alphabets" of the Japanese language which can often be the stopper for people just starting out. If you're someone who is currently taking a beginning language class and you want some extra practice then this book is for you.
