Title: Solid beginner course - if you have patience
Review: If you just want to play this one in your car as you drive, don't bother buying it - on the other hand, if you want to learn Japanese effectively, and plan on taking the time to study, this series is the best out there.I used this for a year before moving to Japan, and its method of giving you an 'example sentence', showing you where the noun/verb etc goes, basically giving you a 'template' so you can create your own sentences. From experience, this is exactly how you must learn a foreign language. The CD isn't cluttered with English sentences - it is all Japanese, which is what you want.Listening to the cd alone will help tune your ear to Japanese, and as you are learning, you will be able to pick it up more and more as you go along. Just be aware that you will need to study the book to make any progress, but if you do study the book, you will improve by leaps and bounds.
