"Entertaining, well-organized, and relatively up to date. Expressing emotion in Japanese has been the hardest thing so far, and this definitely helped out." —Goodreads "This book is great if you'll be conversing with young Japanese people or already have Japanese friends to speak with. I also love the easy to read layout and fun tone of the book. It's definitely ... Read morea must if you'll be using Japanese primarily in casual social situations. I'd have to say the size is also an advantage, as it would fit into a bag without weighing you down."
Lindsay Does Languages blog "One of the things that I most like about the books is that they include the English translations of the phrases as well as the sentences and words in the writing system of the language alongside the transliteration. This is great both for those who are interested in a more conversational approach and for those interested in more in-depth learning."
