EDITORIAL REVIEW

There are three types of Japanese script-katakana, hiragana, and kanji. It is possible to read Japanese knowing only a limited number of kanji, but it is not possible with only a limited number of katakana or hiragana-one must know all of them. Let's Learn Hiragana, and its companion volume Let's Learn Katakana, is a textbook that introduces the learner to the basics of one of these fundamental Japanese scripts. Being a workbook, it contains all the exercises that allow the student to master hiragana by the time the book has been finished. Let's Learn Hiragana is a classic in the field, and the huge number of students that have used it successfully is a sign of its preeminence as a self-study guide.

ABOUT THIS BOOK

USER REVIEWS

BEST BEGINNERS BOOK FOR LEARNING HIRAGANA EVER!!!!!
~ Written on Jul 25, 2008. out of users found this review helpful.

This has to be the best way to learn hiragana! I learned all 46 hiragana syllables in about 3 weeks, and then it only takes about a day to get the dakuon and handakuon down, because its just a voiced change and adding two small lines or a circle. The yoon take even shorter since really it's just a smaller version of ya, yu, or yo. This book is perfect for learning Hiragana! Kodansha always has great japanese learning books. I recommend the second one in this "series", "Let's Learn Katakana". These are both great ways to learn Hiragana and Katakana (respectively).

Amazing Book

Ok, believe it or not, Using this book, I mastered reading Hiragana in 3 days. Of course, I couldn't put it down, and I also bought hiragana flash cards too which helped a lot as well, but still, the books was AMAZING. if you are trying to learn Hiragana in a flash, this is a great book. I can now read hiragana just by looking at it, and I can write it too. It's a great book and I recommend it to anyone who wants to learn hiragana easily, and in a way, kinda fun too!

Very good study aid

While taking a Basic Japanese course I was having difficulty remembering my hiragana. The lessons are helpful and easy to complete. The crossword puzzle was a great challenge! When I finished this book I aced my written and oral tests. I even began to read Japanese magazines and books with basic hiragana. Along with my class lessons this book helped me a lot!! Now I'm doing the 'Let's learn Katakana' book. They should make a 'Let's Learn Kanji' book!!

Simple, Easy and Fast

I've been struggling with hiragana for quite a while before i discovered this book on this website. I read previous reviews and almost all agreed on one fact: This book is a must-have for japanese language learners.

In less than 14 days, i was able to read all the hiragana characters. Wow! I didn't know it could be so easy!!! now i'm learning the katakana characters, of course, from the SAME author.
