Title: Great
Review: This is a great book for practicing your Japanese reading. It's not a Japanese 101 book, more 102.This is a bigger, thicker book with tons of reading practice on each page. You definitely get your money's worth.The typical audience for this book would be someone who has had a Japanese conversation class and learned some grammar. Then they can pick up this book and become strong in their reading skill.It's an older book and has a few idiosyncrasies. It uses a weird form of romaji. It calls kanji "kanzi." It says the character for shi is pronounced 'si'. But these are minor things that you will easily overlook if you know even just a little Japanese already. It's the Japanese readings that you care about here anyway.There is apparently a Beginning Japanese Part 1 book that is supposed to go with this book, but I can't find that on Amazon. I can however recommendJapanese Demystified: A Self-Teaching Guide.Get this book to practice your kana, and then to learn basic kanji. Great, great book.
