Learning a language can be difficult, the rules of grunt grammar, conjugations does not even speak ... But this little book has what it takes, and presented by reassuring small units (the numbers first, then Date and time ..), even back further on after the lesson (verbs 1: general, then a few lessons later, verbs 2 exceptions). Slowly return kana, grammar, conjugation, different styles due to politeness rules ... and initiation is smooth.
Given the size of the book there are no kanji (or very little ...) This is just a grammar, along with a glossary Japanese / French and French / Japanese Romaji. What started without apprehension.
