Summary: Won't Teach You Japanese
Comment: Okay, let's be frank. The only way you ever learn to speak a language is through immersion in it. At least for a certain length of time, preferably a couple of hours every day, you need to speak, hear, read, and think that language. And you won't get that with this book.
Japanese never displaces English as the language of instruction. You see not one Japanese writing symbol. You get a few phrases, a few words, but very little idea how these words are used, and no real idea how to string them together into a sentence.
It's not a worthless book. If, like me, you've let your Japanese go and you need a refresher course, this book can be valuable. I'm already a little better than I was when I picked up the book. However, if you're a newcomer to the language, you best bet is to take a college course or get a Japanese friend to tutor you. Give this book a pass.

Summary: The Better Buy
Comment: I remember buying this book when it first came out back in 2002, and used it in Sato Sensei's JPN111 class. The book is written in a way to be used by people,who are just learning the language for the purpose of communication with others in a hurry. Unlike the course books she writes for her classes at this college,the Dummies/Idiot's Language series are kinda like the 10 min. a day language books, or the learning a language for busy business people series. This book is meant for the very beginner student, and not for someone who is a higher level Japanse student who already knows hiragana, katakana, kanji, and conjugation. I can assure you that the Idiot's Conversational Japanese is no different than it's Dummies version. You can buy both books,but Sato Sensei's book is a better buy.

Summary: Hi
Comment: I'm currently a student of Professor Sato at SUNY university at Stony Brook and she's the greatest Sensei I've ever had! Although I haven't had a chance to study her book "Japanese for Dummies," I look forward to getting one soon!
