Teach Yourself Instant Japanese (Book and CD) Book

Designed for those who want to speak basic Japanese immediately or who have tried other courses without success, this course uses a carefully structured method that targets only the most important vocabulary and grammar. The special learning programme takes only 45 minutes a day for six weeks and has fewer than 500 words for you to learn. The grammar has been pared down to the "bare bones" and is explained in a no-nonsense way in simple English so you should not get bogged down by unnecessarily complicated structures that you will not need. There is lots of practice for you as you work through the course, and by using the flashcards provided at the end of the book and memorizing the sentences in the "learn by heart" sections, you should find that you are speaking in whole sentences and with confidence right from the start. The rules of pronunciation are simplified and are available separately on the accompanying CD, so you will have a model to follow rather than trying to follow written instructions.Read More
