Minna no Nihongo Shokyu 1 Honsatsu (Everyone's Japanese Beginner 1 Textbook) 2nd Edition

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.

This book is as recommended by the seller, and it is also very useful for those who are learning Japanese on their own. I also suggest everyone to purchase the Vocabulary (translation & grammar) book - 1 along with the Renshu (Practice) book - 1 . This will make learning even easier.

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.

I wasn't sure if I wanted to buy it because of many bad reviews here but turns out it wasn't a big deal. The main book for the exercise is in Japanese only (of course like the JLPT) but they give you an example of what to do to each exercise. So in one book (Red - Japanese exercise), you have the text in Japanese, and in the other book (Yellow - Grammar + vocabulary), the translation in whatever your book is translated into. The Japanese exercise book comes with a booklet answer at the end of the book, which is of course in japanese. It's not complicated... And I also self-study. Tho I can't use the CD because I have nothing to play it, it's super easy to find the MP3 on the web. (That's what I'm doing) There's some kanji but with the hiragana above so, it doesn't matter if you can't read kanji. The grammar section it's nice and helps to really understand the meaning of the word/particle. Also, there's in each (25) lesson some useful words and information.

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
