5.0 out of 5 stars Learn Japanese, May 11, 2003

This review is from: Japanese For Young People I: Student Book (Bk.1) (Paperback)
This book has been a guide for me through my studies of Japanese. The pictures are very colorful and helpful. The makers of this book have made up characters through which help to make the dialogue parts more intresting and comphrensable. Also through a mixture of english and hiragana, it is easy to understand while challenging you to learn hiragana at the same time. I highly recommend this book for children between the ages of 8-14, who are trying to learn japanese.

1.0 out of 5 stars Where are the CDs?!, March 29, 2008

This review is from: Japanese For Young People I: Student Book (Bk.1) (Paperback)
What Amazon and the other reviewers fail to explain is that you must have the CDs or cassette tapes to properly use "Japanese for Young People, I" -- and that Amazon does NOT include them with your purchase or the book. Indeed, you cannot even buy the audio recordings separately (Amazon lists them as "unavailable").

Page after page of "Japanese for Young People" has exercises based on the recordings, which makes much of the book pretty useless. Wish we had known that before we ordered the book, as it would have saved us the trouble of shipping it back and asking for a refund.

5.0 out of 5 stars Helpful, April 21, 2004

This review is from: Japanese For Young People I: Student Book (Bk.1) (Paperback)
I have tried many different kinds of Japanese learning programs, but this has been the most useful so far. Although I would suggest getting a CD/Book if you don't hear Japanese often, this is a great starter program. It incorporates kana into the lessons, so you will learn also how to write.

I recommend it for all ages!
