Look ma, no textbooks! The Learn in Your Car series treats you like a child--in the best possible way--starting with one-word phrases ("please," "good-by"), counting exercises, and simple nouns ("bus," "train") designed to imitate a child's learning process. First you hear the words in English, then they are repeated slowly in clear, unaccented pronunciations. The method is extremely effective for those who don't know a thing, or for those who want to brush up by testing themselves when the English words are spoken. The tapes emphasize the building blocks of communicating in a foreign country rather than rote phrases that only apply on the tape and not in real-life exchanges. Level 1 painlessly covers basic verb forms, essential prepositions, near future and past tenses, as well as shopping, hotel reservations, and other travel-related situations. The series includes French, German, Italian, Russian, Japanese, and Spanish in three levels that can be purchased individually or in boxed sets. Each level contains two 90-minute cassettes (or CDs) and an accompanying booklet (not for use behind the wheel) with helpful explanations and scripts for the lessons.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great tape set!, August 19, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Learn in Your Car Complete Language Course: Japanese (3 Level Set) (English and Japanese Edition) (Audio Cassette)

This course is absolutely fabulous! Unlike other courses I have wasted my money on...this one is perfect. It doesn't go too fast, and when you are done with the course you are actually speaking Japanese...unlike other book/tape sets where you complete the entire course and all you can do is ask where Mr. Yamamoto lives. It does take longer than others... but the wait is worth it!
