The method that's helped thousands in the U.S. and Japan learn Japanese successfully.

Along with its sister book: Japanese Kanji for Beginners it provides a complete introduction to written Japanese.

• Memorable picture mnemonics help you to learn the characters by associating their shapes and sounds with combinations of images and English words already familiar to you.
• Clear examples and engaging exercises offer opportunities to read, write, use and practice all 92 primary hiragana katakana characters, plus the remaining kana that stand for more complex sounds.
• Polish your knowledge with word searches, crossword puzzles, fill-in-the-blanks, timed recognition quizzes, and other engaging activities.
