良い

I like the book. The paper is nice and the colour printing and pictures are fine. I also like the way it builds up the vocabulary for a complete beginner.It is sometimes confusing to have both English and Vietnamese translations together. Although economical, separate volumes would be clearer. I also find the very, very tiny hiragana font used under Kanji difficult to read...in particular when it's red, when the diacritics/dauten are almost impossible to see.

It’s not watered down with detail. Sometimes detail helps, but more times than not, too much detail confuses you. Things start to make sense with the easy examples, and you start to understand the details without the explanations.

The book is helpful and amazing in structure. Very easy to take it with you,no matter the size of your bag. It’s small and convenient. Amazon Japan is Super Fast and the package is great as well.

Good purchase. Will buy again soon.

I bought this book because it was recommended by a Japanese learning website, but it's the most frustrating guide I have used thus far. First, all of the Japanese is in pink lettering which makes it super difficult to read (yes, this is because it has the red "decoder" card gimmick). Additionally the fonts are really small -- the smallest of any Japanese language learning book I've seen, and I've looked at a dozen or more in the bookstore. The kanji itself is too small, but the furigana is practically unreadable... it's about 1mm tall! (I'm not exaggerating) Lastly, it includes Vietnamese. WTH? So the book wastes space by including Vietnamese, and then makes the font small so that everything fits but is impossible to read? This is such a bizarre choice. There should be a Japanese-English only version with bigger fonts. This book is so difficult to read unless I'm in bright office lights or outside in the sun... forget trying to study using the light from a bedside lamp before you go to sleep at night.
