EDITORIAL REVIEW

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.

ABOUT THIS BOOK

USER REVIEWS

Very user-friendly
~ Written on Nov 27, 2006. 2 out of 2 users found this review helpful.

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.

"User Friendly" Japanese Reading/Writing Workbook
~ Written on May 5, 2000. 4 out of 4 users found this review helpful.

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.
