Product Description
Speak Japanese with confidence in just 6 weeks!
Living Language Japanese Complete Course is a step-by-step guide to the basics of Japanese conversation and grammar. This revised course uses the highly effective speed-learning method developed by U.S. government experts to teach foreign languages to overseas-bound servicemen and diplomats.
40 lessons on two 90-minute cassettes
Begin with simple words and phrases and progress to more complex expressions. Just listen and repeat after the native speakers. Only Japanese is spoken on the recordings, so you learn naturally, the way you learned English. The accompanying Japanese Coursebook includes the English translations.
Japanese Coursebook
The pocket-size book contains all the translated phrases from the recorded lessons, plus additional vocabulary, detailed explanations, and quizzes.
The book also features verb charts with all tenses included and a comprehensive summary of Japanese grammar.
Japanese -English/English-Japanese Dictionary
More than 20,000 words are defined.
Idiomatic expressions and common phrases show how words are used in everyday conversation. The dictionary doubles as a phrasebook.
1,000 of the most frequently used words are highlighted for easy reference.

Quality Conversational Japanese Course with Recordings May 31, 1999
32 out of 32 found this review helpful
The living language course provides a book with clear explanations, a dictionary and a CD (or cassette) featuring native Japanese speakers who demonstrate correct phrasing and pronounciation. The book and CD are well integrated. Clear explanations of basic sentence structure and usage are provided. The course only teaches spoken Japanese. The course relies heavily on phrase construction (as opposed to sentence construction) which is acceptable because spoken Japanese makes heavy use of phrases.The course is high quality, but should be combined with other teaching materials which provide conversational dialog such as the AMR Japanese Module 1 series. The two work together well.
Excellent way to learn, but... July 31, 2000

This is by far one of the best ways to learn Japanese that I can think of. Even though it doesn't really teach you much WRITTEN Japanese, it is by far excellent in teaching vocabulary and especially the confusing grammar of Japanese. My only complaint is that unless you can think of ways to make it fun, you could easily get bored with it. The book is very straightforward and doesn't offer the fun that I think other methods of learning the language (subtitled videos, songs, etc.) can offer. But other than that, it is far superior to anything I've run across on the web.

Talk about immersion! The instant i received this from the UPS guy, i tore the package open and began my adventure. This coursebook is just amazing. Within an hour i learned so much! The CD's work so well that I had my friend buy the same product also, so now we speak to eachother in japanese.The teaching method is awesome. The cd's totally immerse you in the language, picking it up naturally, as the package says. It works! GET THIS COURSEBOOK SET!

I purchased this book and have gone through every page. I didn't think about reviewing it, until I realized my own ability in another language. First, there is a lot of material in this package. The Cd's are worth the money, no question. The workbook though, all by itself is the best aid i've seen in hepling you to learn. I try to keep this with me at all times for standing in line etc., but usually my hands are way to full in some places. Most language texts are convuluted and distorted and actually interfere with the process. I enjoyed this very much. What more can you say about a text book?

The whole book is using Roman Characters, without a single Japenese characters. If you want to learn how to read and write, consult another book. But it is a great book to learn how to speak Japanese
