This book is excellent for people interested in learning Japanese. Not only are the Hiragana and Katakana alphabets focused on, but it also touches on Kanji, which many books tend to avoid. Kanji are ideographs, which mean the whole character conveys a meaning or idea and this book shows an interesting way in how to remember Kanji, as they are usually a picture of the object they represent. I like how everything is made to be so easy and clear in this step-by-step guide. There are exercises throughout which help you monitor your progress through each unit. This book is very educational, but also enjoyable. I highly recommend this.

I have been looking for this type of book to teach Japanese.
Maybe, it'll a little bit difficult to understand for beginners but worth to have it if you've got patience!
