Tuttle Publishing I'm Learning Japanese!: Learn to Speak, Read and Write the Basics

جميل و لكن ليس للمستوى الابتدائي للغه

This book is a great introduction to learning Japanese. I was really surprise of how much I was able to read and use the language after I worked with this book. I use it over and over again and I actaully both a copy for my Japanese teacher for him to use with other students. The introduction of hiragana, vocabulary and th particles is well done.

Me encantó, ya lo terminé y ahora puedo escribir frases sencillas y entender frases igualmente sencillas cuando veo Anime.

Excellent for learning. There's no romaji, so you're learning to read, really read, in Japanese from the start. You're introduced to a set of 3-5 hiragana, then learn a set of words that can be made with them then works up to simple sentences with some basic grammar points that are explained clearly in a remarkably easy to understand manner. Most often vocabulary is given with a picture and the hiragana beneath it for you to learn by reading Japanese. Each chapter is themed around a bit of Japanese culture, and the conversations and vocab you learn are based around that. It's fun and simple and rewarding to learn Japanese in Japanese. Toward the end you learn a handful of basic kanji and will have the reading comprehension to get through a letter to test your skills. All of this is presented in a friendly, easy to absorb manner with a cast of drawn characters and a fox-sensei. All of the answers to everything are right at the back of the book. My only complaint is that it could have a bigger vocabulary, but as-is it's fine and a perfect intro to reading and writing Japanese for anyone.

Questo libro è carino per iniziare a imparare l'hiragana e il Giapponese, però essendo per bambini non spiega bene la grammatica che bisogna cercare su internet o su altri libri. This book is nice to start learning Japanese but honestly speaking it lacks of grammar explanations since it is for children. So you need to learn grammar elsewhere, on other books or apps or online...

This book is a great starting point if you want to begin learning japanese. While it is aimed towards children it is also perfectly suitable for adults too, as beginning from a simple child like point will make things easy to get the hang of before moving on to more complicated books. The book follows the learning journey of three kids as they are being taught the japanese language by their kitsune teacher and his tanuki assistant, adding in plenty of entertaining elements throughout to keep things interesting. It also touches on some elements of japanese culture too. It goes over learning hiragana symbols, a little bit at a time, then uses what you have learned to form simple words, then moves on to using those words to form simple sentences. It never feels like it is throwing too much at you at any given time. It uses repetition to try to get the words to stick in your head, for example you will learn the japanese words for house and yard, then you will constantly see those words used again and again throughout the book so that it never has a chance to leave your head. After you have learned all of the symbols of the hiragana chart you will move on to learning about numbers and a few simple kanji characters. Of course do not expect to learn everything from this book, this is made to be a starting point for children after all. But you should learn enough from this book to feel comfortable moving on to bigger and more in depth books afterwards.
