Learning Japanese

Written on January 22, 2008 by in Japanese

Japanese for Busy People I: Kana Version includes CD (Japanese for Busy People Series) Learning Japanese

So I’m interested in learning Japanese. The above book comes recommended from one of my contacts as a best of type book for learning. This particular version is the Kana version, meaning it will not be Romanized or Western text.

Also recommended is of course finding a local school. I’m interested in doing both actually.

If you have other recommendations, do leave them in the comments or contact me directly.

Interested in tutoring an adult? Live in Missouri? Drop me a line.

Finally, if you have some books in Japanese, and you care to part with them, be sure to think of me.

Your future reader of Japanese,
Todd

Sounds like you REALLY want to learn Japanese - as opposed to learning enough to get by as a tourist for a couple of weeks.

I found that for the short stay, I did well with the Pimsleur Japanese Audio CDs - I checked them out of our library. It was really all I needed to navigate Tokyo & Kyoto, dine and shop happily for a couple of weeks. Thought their approach was really simple as well. Wish you much luck.
