Ethan OliverEthan Oliver: If you're wanting to begin learning Japanese this writing is great to start you and practice writing along with learning some words, phrases, and sentences. I've been learning Japanese on college this year, and this book is going to be a big help with my Japanese learning.

Nick: This book is great for learning brush strokes for learning your Kana! The first sections are dedicated to practicing Hiragana and Katakana, then a section for basic words/phrases, quizzes, and a blank grid. Good purchase!
