Title: Needs some serious editing
Review: I am a fluent speaker of Japanese trying to teach it to my children. There aren't very many options for Japanese teaching aides, so I was glad to see this one and really wanted to like it.CONS: The computer animated dog is cheesy and not integrated with the live action. The narrator mispronounces words and even mistakenly uses the word for grandmother when referring to the grandfather. The workbook that comes free with the DVD is not a workbook, but a booklet that fits in the DVD case and isn't very helpful.PROS: The main characters in the show are obviously native speakers and use normal informal Japanese that children would actually speak. It's cheap.I guess for only $23 this is what I should expect, but I was hoping for more.
