Title: changed my life
Review: It was really heartening to know that I could learn a language without a teacher at my advanced age. Supplemental books are helpful, however. At this level I would suggest "Japanese in 10 Minutes" (hardly true, but it does have stickers you can put on the objects in your house to teach you the names of common objects) and "1000 First Words in Japanese." You are learning on a very basic level here on the first set of lessons---lots of repetition. The important thing: never miss a single day, even if it's only a few minutes. Also: as the lessons progress they get harder, and it gets impossible to listen and do tasks at the same time. You need to sit in a chair and concentrate. Don't be afraid to repeat the lessons. In a year's time you will be speaking elementary Japanese from ground zero.
