Sugoi (great) learning material (0/0 people found this helpful)
I bought this book hoping to learn hirigana over a month, but i was quickly proved wrong as the book made the process easy, fun and very quick to learn and I was finished in about 2 weeks. This book is really worth the money if you are willing to put in the time, then rewards reaped are bountiful. Everything from stroke order to what kind of stroke is shown making the process easier to follow rather than throwing you into the deep end with no help. I have also bought the katakana version and attempting to learn that too.
I really do recommend any budding person trying to learn the Japanese language to start with hirigana using this book. I hope you enjoy the book as much as I have.
The Best Book I've Come Across For Learning Hiragana (0/0 people found this helpful)
This has to be by far the best book that I have found for learning to read and write Hiragana. Many other books out there just show charts and guides - but they don't teach it to you, or have special exercises laid out.
With this book and as little as 20 minutes a day, I have been able to go from being able to read absolutely no Hiragana, to virtually anything now written in Hiragana in just a week and a half.
I would recommend this book wholeheartedly to anyone wishing to learn Hiragana as you can learn it confidently and competatively, solely with this book.
To anyone who buys this book I hope you find as useful as I have,
Ganbatte!
Amazing (1/1 people found this helpful)
I've always wanted to learn Japanese, not just speaking, but writing as well. I finished this book a little while ago, and just recently finished the Katakana workbook too. It's put me at a great advantage for college!
I would seriously recommend this book to anyone
Great for begineers (3/4 people found this helpful)
This book is great because it breaks down hiragana how to write it and also what means what very useful...that is the bottom line...
i can't wait for the katakana series and kanji as well
good book for learning the basics (9/9 people found this helpful)
this is a great book for learning the basics of the Hiragana alphabet, with sufficient study, this book can teach anyone how to read and write the (hiragana) alphabet within 2 weeks. obviously this book will not teach you japanese, its a book entirely focused on the alphabet of Hiragana (one of three japanese alphabets). if interested in learning how to read and write 'japanese' then this is probably the best book to begin with (certainly the best book i've seen) but be warned that in order to fully learn how to read and write japanese you will need to purchase the other books in the series (lets learn katakana, lets learn kanji). with that in mind, this is an excellent book for anyone starting out in japanese, the illustrations are clear and the book itself is very simple and easy to understand. there is little continuous prose, with most of the book literally being a step by step guide in how to write hiragana characters. well worth the price tag.
