Overall a good book, March 4, 2006
A previous reviewer commented on just a few examples. It's true, not all examples are great, some are vague or really reaching. But overall the memory tricks are good. Some of my favorites are #213 Manzoku suru - to be satisfied (trigger: any Manz Ok). #101 Suu - to suck in, inhale (trigger: suuuck in the smoke). #64 Miru - to see (trigger: see yourself in the Mirror). My favorite is #159 Handan suru - to judge (trigger: the judge will hand down a verdict).
Yea they are a stretch, but the key is to really imagine it as you say it over and over. I can't forget Suu, Manzoku, and Handan because they are so simple and creative. I can see a judge handing down a verdict and I think of Han dan.
Some people don't think like this and those types of people probably won't enjoy the book. I like art and creative things and these tricks are, for the most part, really easy to remember.

verbs and adjectives learned at the speed of light!, February 18, 2007
I never write reviews, but i think i should on this one. i love this book! i was looking for a way to learn a lot of verbs and adjectives quickly and this book is perfect for that. you still need to learn the conjugations on your own, but this will save you a lot of time because you will recall them easily and they will stick with you because of the odd memory mnemonics given. it's a thousand times better than rote memorization alone. definately a book to have in your japanese learning collection. I am recommending it to all my friends who want to learn japanese. I have been studying japanese for 3 yrs and will be moving there this year and it has helped me a great deal, so i recommend it highly in helping intermediate, advanced and it will give the beginning student a running start. Ganbatte!

creative way to learn, April 5, 2007
This is a wonderful little book that will help you memorize verbs fast and relatively painlessly. The words are printed in a large font and arranged 3 to a page. My only gripe is that I wish it would include the kanji --- but since the layout is so spacious, Ive pencilled in kanji and "te" conjugations myself. Give yourself an edge and buy now!

Very Helpful!, June 11, 2004
This book really helped me to learn japanese verbs. They can be very tricky to understand, and keep them all straight. Using simple memory techniques, through some memorable, (and sometimes funny) sentences, this book helped to trigger the verbs. When I lived in Japan, I found myself constantly using these triggers to engage in simple conversation. (I am still at a beginner's level, but now I can talk about more than train schedules and washroom locations.)

Great for remembering Japanese verbs, April 2, 2004
By A Customer
It's an interesting book and it really helped me remember Japanese verbs. It doesn't cover conjugation or anything else, it's simply about how to remember the actual verbs and the meanings. I recommend it to anyone learning Japanese.
