Title: Excellent for self-teaching
Product review: I've always wanted to learn Japanese, and now this dream has finally been realized by this wonderful book! The book starts from the very basic of Japanese grammar and starts building on it without making me feel overwhelmed. And that's saying something as usually I suck at grammar. It also teaches hiragana bit by bit, reviewing the ones learned before in later chapters. As bad as my memory was, I was still able to remember the old stuff while learning the new. I personally find it easier if you skimmed over the next chapter a day before you actually do it, kind of like how you preview the material before going to class. One thing about this though is there's no cd to learn proper enunciation. So instead, I try to learn by watching Japanese drama and catching vocabularies and phrases I learned in their dialogs. Overall, excellent book!!
