Minna no Nihongo Shokyu I Dai 2-Han Honsatsu Kanji-Kana (Book & CD)

It was recommended to me by my tutor and it’s quite terrifying being all in Japanese but I’m looking forward to using it in my studies , so very appropriate and fits the purpose for my studies. A good txt book. The print is very small which does make it difficult to read though.

I use this book with my Japanese teacher. I got it before I started with her and was a bit lost as it is ALL in Japanese. But once I got over that initial shock, I found the book much more useful than duolingo. It goes into the grammar and more importantly into the connectors and which connector to use with what. My Japanese has improved so much already and we do one chapter a week together. Make sure you have a CD player or you find the soundcloud link for the audio tasks, as they really help with the listening abilities.

Advising everyone looking to buy this book: it's 99.9% in Japanese. I recommend it, no doubt, to assist a class with a Japanese teacher who can tell you what everything means, because it is a very good study material. Having some basics already when I got to this manual, I had no problems with it so far. However, for all those who don't, get to learn the basic japanese alphabets beforehand - this book has them at the beginning, but not the translation of the sounds in rōmaji (latin letters) nor the sound of each character. To avoid what I just described, you can also get the Translation & Grammatical Notes English ver. as a complement: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/4883196046/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_6

Fine book! Just right for my requirements!

Excellent for learning. It promotes the sentence and grammar structures in the practice sections very well and makes you repeat them in different tenses as you work through the book. It is essential if you're starting to learn Japanese from this book that you are able to read hiragana and katakana and have the Minna no Nihongo English translation notes book also in case you need clarification on something. All in all a brilliant book to learn from.

This is the text book. After reading it, you might be able to read the cover. Maybe.

Buy the two books together - really good, has improved my Japanese language skills.

Sent in a perfect condition. It serves me very well.

Love the straight forward learning approach this book has to offer, along with the immersion and repetitive exercises, as this is the best way for me to learn and comprehend. The whole workbook is in Japanese, down to the instructions, so the accompanying Translation & Grammar notes Book is vital is you are introductory or beginner level….but I’d only recommend this book if you’re already familiar and have memorized the first 2 kana, as this book doesn’t teach you, or hold your hand in that regard. A CD also comes with the workbook which is nice, but I don’t have a CD player, so I can’t use it but you’re able to download the accompanying mp3 files on the publishers website for free, which is very helpful. I can see why this book is so popular.

I could not believe how fast it arrived. Arrived in great condition

Incontournable pour les élèves en japonais

Producto excelente. Para aquellos que como yo empezamos de cero viene muy bien, si bien es cierto que necesitas un libro de gramática de apoyo, puesto que aquí solo se limitan a poner una serie de ejemplos al principio de cada lección de lo que va a tratar el tema, y muchas veces es necesario recurrir a otro libro para poder enterarse de lo que te piden. Al principio es un poco raro acostumbrarse al sistema que lleva, porque los ejercicios no tienen enunciado, sino que se explican con un ejemplo que hay que seguir para realizar el resto del ejercicio, cosa lógica, si no entiendes así lo que te piden, como para entender el enunciado. Por lo demás, genial, muy completo, con audios para practicar y un montón de ejercicios por lección. Altamente recomendable.

The product is as expected,good quality.The seller delivered it 2 weeks earlier than the mentioned date of delivery even though it was not updated by Amazon.I am satisfied greatly.
