    About this audiobook

    Unlike most Japanese language books that focus on formal and polite use, this introductory guide will help you to speak and understand Japanese as it is used in everyday life.

    If you are studying, working or just travelling to Japan this book will help you to break down the language and culture into the real and everyday essentials. Use this guide to speak Japanese from day one, while also laying down a solid foundation for more advanced study and an appreciation of Japanese culture.

    The essays and the stories they contain bring Japan and its culture to life, providing insights which allow the reader to understand the sometimes bewildering and impenetrable ways of Japanese culture.

    • 5/5
      Provided a great overview and helpful tips of navigating the country and language.
    • 3/5
      Lighthearted introduction to learning the japanese, a more realistic approach and look at the everyday usage and feel of the language.
    • 3/5
      Audio is quite bad. Can be improved more in the future.
