Japanese for Beginners is a straightforward learning guide which enables beginners to pick up a functional knowledge of spoken Japanese very quickly and easily. Specifically designed to teach spoken Japanese as it is used in daily life rather than in a formal setting, Japanese for Beginners is perfect for a tourist or business person traveling to Japan or a student who wants to learn Japanese rapidly and effectively.
It's particularly useful that every example used in the text has a male and female version of the phrases so that the foreigner can learn how to say what they want to without sounding odd to the Japanese ear.
The text uses romaji (Japanese written in the English alphabet) rather than kanji and kana so it's accessible to every learner. Comes with either a CD or access to downloadable audio on the publisher's website.
