Reviews / Votes
"Verbs are usually the key to understanding a sentence or part of a text, so it's well worth emphasising them ... If you know these 600 verbs that's really going to help unlock a lot of Japanese for you.'" -How to Japan blog "This book excels at differentiating really similar concepts, even adding more to the never-ending question of 'What is the difference between [this character] and [this character]?' The vocabulary words are also thematically arranged, usually with illustrations for some words for better memory reinforcement. Pronunciation in the [audio files] actually sounds natural compared to other learning materials" -Japan Reference blogMore details
