Learn Japanese - Ultimate Getting Started with Jap

Well, to start this review I have to say that I was not expecting results. My shock was that this is a very educational language course ! You learn not only the language but also the culture and customs of Japan.

I am soo pleased to have purchased this. I have progressed both in the Japanese language and also the culture! Packing my bags to go to Japan!

More useless dialogue than teaching Japanese

A lot of time is wasted on vapid dialogue between the the two teachers. I am on chapter 18 and have learned very little.

I'm a 100% beginner.

As a total biginner of trying to learn a second language, I found this series of lessons extremely informative and easy to follow. I would recommend this series to any and all wishing to learn Japanese. It not only teaches you the basics but also some of Japan's history and culture. Well worth it. I will be listening to these lessons again and again. Just brilliant.

Skip the first ~45 chapters, rest is quite good

Edit: As of chapter 45, I can say that the book is delivering what it proposes. Initially, I thought that it's bad because twenty-something chapters were not teaching the language (see below). But later it started the actual Japanese dialogs and then teachers discussing the topics from the dialog. I think it's a good hands-free way of learning Japanese; of course, alongside some other resources.

Before edit: I'm writing from the 20th chapter. Only less than half of the chapters were about teaching the actual language. Many are shallow topics about the culture. Many of the 'language teaching' chapters boil down to 'top 5 blabla words'. Only the first 4-5 teaching chapters were useful so far. Those actually had a conversation in Japanese and explained that conversation in English (such as the one in the sample audio). So we can call it a misadvertised non-language focused chatter about Japan.

Excellent

Really good. Learning a language can be tedious, but this makes it genuinely interesting! Explaining not just the language, but culture. Going to buy the series :)

More than a language course

A language course with a lot of background information. It is presented in a personable manner.

A great audiobook for beginners of Japanese

A great audiobook for beginners of Japanese. Although some parts feel rushed and you are constantly asked to ref' the PDF. I like to listen to auidobooks while I am out walking so that is a little difficult. A pitty it wasn't more general English focused as upposed to American English, but what can you do.
That being said, I rather enjoyed and found easy to understand all the voices and the slowed down breakdowns of words and scentences were easy to follow.
Defo worth a listen for those statying the great venture that is the Japanese language 😀

Brilliant audio book!

I truly likes this audio book. I bought a an audio book earlier but only for vocabulary. This book on the other hand was fenomenal, totally worth 32 dollars. It was exciting and very effective. Especially the dialogues with summary in the end. The creators behind this did a remarkable job with fun sound effects, good actors and creative material.

For anyone starting out, this is the deal to go for.
ありがてう!
