Would you like to be able to read and write Japanese perfectly in just a few weeks? Here are the 5 steps you need to take:THE BASICS - Do you want the best possible start to learning Japanese? Before it makes sense to learn vocabulary or grammar, you need to be able to read hiragana and katakana characters. Without this foundation, you'll learn the language wrong from the start and make it unnecessarily difficult for yourself. It has never been easier to learn this foundation than with this intelligently designed workbook.LEARN TO WRITE - Do you want to be able to write Japanese? Whether it's for work, traveling or immigrating to Japan, knowing how to write is essential. Japanese characters follow a strict stroke order, which this book will teach you in a simple and understandable way.

Through constant practicing, writing down and intelligent repetition exercises, you can master this challenge as quickly and effectively as possible with our workbook.UNDERSTANDABLE EXPLANATION - You don't just want to learn blindly, you also want to understand? A lack of understanding can cause major problems later on when learning vocabulary, grammar and the complicated kanji characters. Our exercise book solves this problem by working with explanatory texts. These give you a deep insight into Japanese culture, the history of the language and why they use two alphabets instead of just one, for example.BIG BONUS - Do you want an overall concept that works? Many very important topics, such as correct pronunciation, cannot be explained in one book alone.
