5.0 out of 5 stars Essential Japanese? (by Colin Sharrock), 21 April 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Berlitz Essential Japanese (Berlitz Essentials) (Paperback)
Being married to a Japanese lady, I have attempted to study from many textbooks, phrasebooks, and learning guides (under a strict study regime enforced by The Wife) but must confess to finding most boring. Essential Japanese is different. Well-structured lessons and tests have prolonged my interest and enthusiasm, and a perfect learning curve has both challenged and captivated me. For beginners, I can't recommend this book enough, and the advanced will find it an entertaining and rewarding purchase!

5.0 out of 5 stars Probably the best out there, 24 April 2008
I have purchased quite a few Japanese language books but I still keep coming back to this one. Why? Probably because I find it to be the easiest to learn from.

It is very comprehensive, taking the reader beyond the basics until, by the end of the book, you have a fairly complete understanding of the language that will set you in good stead in a variety of day-to-day situations.

On completing the book, which is divided into 19 lessons, each following on from the last, you should know about 800 words in Japanese and how to use them to form sentences with confidence and in an assortment of social situations. Infact you should be fairly fluent in the use of the language, though of course fluency depends on more than just memorising words and set sentences.

My wife is Japanese and this book has helped me more than any other in bringing me up to speed with Japanese. Now I don't need to shy away from the telephone whenever her parents ring!

4.0 out of 5 stars Pity about the romaji..., 4 Feb 2007
If you never intend on writing or reading any Japanese then this book is suitable for you. The emphasis is 100% upon oral expression and how to communicate in social situations. I personally fail to see the point of avoiding the inclusion of the scripts because the book is quite comprehensive and thus it isn't directed at people who only want to acquire basic skills. That said, it is still a useful addition to any collection and has helped me in my Japanese studies.
