Great!!

I love this CD product. It has all the basics....numbers, greetings, everyday phrases needed to survive on a journey to another land! Loved listening to the two people on the CD; it was very easy to understand every syllable spoken.

Language - Japanese

The language learning product I purchased was excellent. It was easy to follow and helpful with the pronounciation of the Japanese language.

Love it!!! You learn sooo much for so little $$$

I listened to both CDS last night and was very impressed. There are many many phrases that go above and beyond the usual "Where is the train station?" The narration is done by both male and female voices and sound less stilted than Pimsleur CDS. In addition, there are several conversations spoken at normal speed. Most of the phrases are advanced beginner and intermediate level: "Is there a transfer at Hiroshima" and "I would like to order something not too sweet" are examples of the level of difficulty. The phrases seem to be taken from Dover's "Say it in Japanese" which is a great book BTW. The only quibble I have with this set: the pamphlet is stapled (not bound) and the kanji is hard to read. If you understand every sentence and vocabulary word in this set, you'll be well beyond beginner level. To attain 100% listening comprehension of these CDS would take many weeks IMHO so this is well worth your money. Hope Dover makes a 2nd set --- I will buy ASAP!!!

good for a beginner

One of the first audio disks I got to learn japanese. Has great phrases and writing in the booklet. Good place to start ^_^
