Summary: Solid beginner course - if you have patience
Comment: If you just want to play this one in your car as you drive, don't bother buying it - on the other hand, if you want to learn Japanese effectively, and plan on taking the time to study, this series is the best out there.
I used this for a year before moving to Japan, and its method of giving you an 'example sentence', showing you where the noun/verb etc goes, basically giving you a 'template' so you can create your own sentences. From experience, this is exactly how you must learn a foreign language. The CD isn't cluttered with English sentences - it is all Japanese, which is what you want.
Listening to the cd alone will help tune your ear to Japanese, and as you are learning, you will be able to pick it up more and more as you go along. Just be aware that you will need to study the book to make any progress, but if you do study the book, you will improve by leaps and bounds.

Summary: Excellent book!
Comment: Japanese is a very difficult language. You will become very frustrated at times. You could possibly get gray hairs. I bought many books but this had to be the best; it's a godsend. The book covers many different topics and gives conversations and examples. At the end, it has an extensive grammar section, that is very, very helpful.
If you want to know japanese very well, this book won't do it all. It doesn't contain traditional japanese script, just the romanized form. So if you want to know how to write japanese, you have to get a separate book.

Summary: A good review tool but not for those first starting out.
Comment: I seldom review something until I finish it be it a book or a CD. But in this case it will be quite awhile until I finish this. Only knowing a few words in Japanese, I bought this to learn Japanese from the ground up. The CDs are in Japanese and says the bolded words in the text but does not say what the phrase means, the only thing I have heard that is in English is the Lesson Number. While it is great to hear the words and get used to the sound of the language is does nothing to help you learn the meaning of the words. There is not enough space between the words/phrase to let you say them. The Course Book is a necessity in the early stages until you learn what the phrases mean. Which makes driving and trying to use this course hard. It does not contain computer program that compares your pronunciation or allows you to play games to help you learn the language. The course is very dry and boring. I would not recommend it to those just starting to learn Japanese, but as a review tool.
