4.0 out of 5 stars brilliant, 6 Jan 2010
This review is from: 15-Minute Japanese: Learn Japanese in just 15 minutes a day (Eyewitness Travel 15-Minute Language Packs) (Paperback)
just got this book through the mail today, and already I know some of the basics in japanese like "pleased to meet you" and "my name is...." my family and friends are shocked at how well i'm doing!
i bought this book, along with a few other things, as i want to speak japanese fluently. obviously i've got along way to go, but i'm getting there.

it comes with 2 cds plus a book and both the cds and the book are incredibly easy to follow.

i've uploaded the cds onto my ipod, so i can practice learning japanese wherever i go! it's brilliant. and the book is fairly small as well. so it's easy to carry around in the handbag!

if like me and you want to learn japanese fluently, i would recommend buying this item along with the following
"Let's Learn Hiragana: First Book of Japanese Writing"
"Let's Learn Karakana"
"Let's Learn Kanji"

& (if you have a nintendo ds) buy the "My Japanese Coach (Nintendo DS)" it's brilliant... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, but not a quick fix, 5 Oct 2007
By 
E. James (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: 15-Minute Japanese: Learn Japanese in just 15 minutes a day (Eyewitness Travel 15-Minute Language Packs) (Paperback)
This is an excellent, clear, easy to use format that covers the basics. Each day is a double page spread so you can really focus on the objectives and avoid your mind wandering away from the task. However, it does say 15 minutes a day is all it takes: if you're like me and feel you should really learn something before you move on, it will take you a lot longer than 15 minutes a day, especially as most of the vocab exercises say memorise!
However i do recommend it to someone looking for a well-structured, useful course.

1.0 out of 5 stars One to Avoid, 2 Feb 2009
This review is from: 15-Minute Japanese: Learn Japanese in just 15 minutes a day (Eyewitness Travel 15-Minute Language Packs) (Paperback)
If you have had any experience with learning Japanese or intend to study it beyond this book: avoid. It throws sentences at you without any regard for explaining the structure behind them.
If you are familiar with Japanese pronunciation and kana; the romanisation in this book will drive you mad and if you're not familiar with them this book sets you up for a fall.
The pictures are nice and the cover flaps are a nice idea, but overall there a lot better Japanese study guides to buy instead.

    Trending: Hardbacks vs e-books: the sequel

    In the world of journalism it's called a "reverse ferret" - a story breathlessly announcing that Black is White, just 24 hours after confidently asserting that Black is Black. In the genteel environs of publishing, it's a volte-face. Whatever it is, James Daunt, owner of Daunt Books and managing director of the Waterstones chain, executed a classic twirl at the weekend.

    Invisible Ink: No 124 - Hans Fallada

    His pen-name was created from two characters in Grimm's fairy tales, but his novels had little in common with the moralistic fantasies of mittel-Europe. Rudolf Ditzen was a magistrate's son, raised in Berlin and immersed in Dickens, Flaubert and Dostoevsky. He became one of the greatest German authors of the 20th century, but was not translated into English until 2009.

    The curious world of Norton Juster

    Some people are very easy to interview. Norton Juster is not one of them. He's delightful and articulate, but listening to the recording of our time together, it's striking how much more interesting his answers are than my questions. So our conversation entirely failed to resolve classics such as "Where did the idea for your book come from?" and ended up instead about vocational education, bipolar disorder, obscure Edwardian ghost-story writers, C P Snow, synaesthesia and the walks Juster used to take with his older brother. In some respects, it's hardly surprising; Juster has been giving interviews about his children's classic The Phantom Tollbooth for half a century, so might be forgiven for wanting his conversations to roam elsewhere.

    How Aharon Appelfeld chronicled the Holocaust

    Blooms of Darkness, in Green's graceful, grave and irresistibly readable English version, tells the story of Hugo, a young Jewish boy in an occupied town in eastern Europe who loses his parents to the camps but stays alive thanks to the shelter and salvation offered him by a local prostitute, Mariana. It extends and deepens one of the most remarkable journeys in all modern literature. In a prolific career whose highlights include novels such as Badenheim 1939, Tzili, The Immortal Bartfuss and The Iron Tracks, as well as the memoir The Story of a Life, Appelfeld has interrogated the meaning of what happened to him, to his community, and to humanity itself, during Europe's era of genocide.

    Gwendoline Riley: A portrait of the artist as a brooding young woman...

    Gwendoline Riley was finishing her first novel at the age that most of us were sleeping in, bunking off, or congregating around a pint at the student union bar. Turning her university dissertation into her debut, Cold Water (2002) she signed a two-book deal at the age of 22. Since then, she has accumulated a hipster-ish following and several literary awards (Somerset Maugham Award, the Betty Trask Award, a John Llewellyn-Rhys Memorial prize shortlisted nomination).
