Publisher's summary

Do you want to learn Japanese, but you don't know where to start?

Are you looking for a simple way to learn practical Japanese without spending too much time or money?

If you answered “yes!” to at least one of those previous questions, then this book is for you. Rather than buying several different resources to teach you the various aspects of the language, we present to you the all-in-one guide.

Whether you are looking to facilitate your visit to Japan, make Japanese friends, enjoy manga and anime, or simply increase your knowledge of the language, this book is the resource for you.

You will learn:

  • Basic Japanese, including greetings, introductions, and apologies with proper pronunciation and grammar
  • How to order food in a restaurant and make sure that you actually get what you asked for
  • How to navigate public transport and common phrases required to safely find your way around
  • Situational Japanese, including emergency assistance, speaking to taxi drivers, and checking into hotels
  • The three Japanese writing systems so that you can not only learn to speak the language, but also identify road and directional signs

Don’t look any further. We’ve got what you need, right here! In fact, we’re ready to turn you into a Japanese speaker. Are you ready to become one?

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

The Best I've Come Across for Vocabulary Acquisit

These are the most authentic sentences that I have encountered. They've obviously done their research because these example sentences are leaps and bounds beyond the contrived and quirky sentences you'll find in dictionaries and Japanese language texts

Excellent introduction to Japanese

This audiobook is exactly as promised. It is a great overview of the basics of Japanese for those interested in the most important words and phrases needed for basic communication. It offers cultural notes along with the words and phases so listeners can understand the context of the key phrases. This audiobook also offers an accompanying PDF for those who would like visual support in studying.
The structure of the book was very clear and well paced. The narration was well done. The narrator’s voice is natural and easily understood.
Overall this is an excellent introduction to Japanese phrases and words for a casual traveler, covering basic situations a traveler may come across. As advertised, this is not a deep-dive into the language, more complex situations or grammar of Japanese. It does offer, however, suggestions to further your studies of Japanese beyond this book.

Great audio book.


Memorable lessons and very useful in every day encounters. I should have used this series before I went to Japan for the first time rather than another book, maybe I would have made some sense.

Great intro to the Japanese language!


This is so well organized! Japanese is so different from English, but this makes the learning process painless

VERY GOOD!

I got more than what I expected out of this book. The narration was great. Everything is easily broken down to understand and use correctly. This author did a great job with the information, techniques, training and practice guides he provided.

Learning and understanding fast


No story but the constant repetition helps, it repeats a lot which is great for anyone learning a new language you hear in an sentence, naively spoken and each long word broken down
