Japanese for Dummies by Eriko Sato (2002, Illustrated, Package)

Learning a new language is hard enough. Why make it any tougher by starting from scratch? This book will give you just enough day-to-day phrases and sayings to make any trip to the land of the rising sun go much more smoothly. Plus, it also has cultural notes and tips to keep yourself in check and unoffensive. ;) Great way to learn!

I THINK ALL THE "FOR DUMMIES" BOOKS ARE PRETTY WELL DONE. THEY USE HUMOR TO HOLD YOUR ATTENTION. THIS BOOK IS ESPECIALLY GOOD FOR BEGINNERS I THINK. I'VE BEEN DOING THIS AWHILE

In my opinion this seller is great, the shipping was very quick and the packaging was perfect. The book itself was not purchased for me it was a gift for my niece who has a fascination for the Japanese culture. Overall, it was a very good transaction and she loves the book.

The book and CD were in great shape! The book was very useful and I received it very quickly. Great shape, great price and great service; Thanks.

I really like that this came with both the disk and the book and was at a reasonable price. It was at my doorstep within two weeks. The book/CD was of very good quality, basically brand new. I bought this as a gift for my boyfriend and he loves it.

What a great compliment to any study of Japanese. Light hearted and straight forward, the perfect companion to aid the serious student with a lighter approach or the casual student who just wants to be able to order in a restaurant or get to their hotel on a vacation or business trip to the Land of the Rising Sun

Sato's book is funny and informative, it's the best beginning level language book I've experienced. Learning a language is not just about words; customs and body language are forms of communication as well, and it's all covered here. If it's easier to learn when smiling, then this is the book to buy. Thanks for "Japanese for Dummies". Lynette King
