Small steps + progressive learning = great success

I have long been looking for a good book or course system to learn themselves home Japanese - unfortunately I had to realize that most of the courses either are designed to provide a solid 'tourist Japanese' without further knowledge of grammar in a few weeks, or in the classroom aligns at universities and community colleges and is not suitable for self-study.

Not so the 'Japanese from Zero' series - this is the right place to learn the language without help themselves. Almost all the important concepts of the Japanese language conveys: In small bites and with detailed explanation will gradually (during the series, including the current four books, band 5 is still in preparation speak). Vocabulary are introduced mainly by theme blocks.

At the same time, the book also introduces the Japanese writing - in the first volume is here to hiragana syllabary. In each lesson a few new characters are introduced, practiced and then used in the text. So you will be overwhelmed not just from having to learn all 100+ characters, and always motivated to stay in line.

Rounding out the whole through numerous words and grammar exercises, which include solutions are available later in the book.

Only pronunciation can of course inadequately convey a book. Here should additional tools, such as Japanese films or podcasts to be taken on hand to get a feel for the pronunciation of the language.
