5.0 out of 5 stars Effective!, November 8, 2000

By	Patrick Karjala (Honolulu, HI) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I used this book in my Japanese 101 class in college, and it does wonders for those who are completely new to Japanese, using practice to build up writing the hirigana script.

A short, simple, effective book to learn Hirigana with focus on writing. For a tool design more for drills and self-testing see Kana Flashcards by White Rabbit Press
