Takes you to imtermediate
|
I started out with Helen Gilhooly's "Teach Yourself Beginners Japanese". Finished that last year, and was eager to get a follow on book. So i went for "Teach yourself Japanese" by Helen Ballhatchet and Stefan Kaiser [not Helen Gilhooly as this book is]. I haven't finished that yet, it moves very fast and seems to take go further that this book. This book (book above) arrived this morning. I took a look though it, and yes it seems to take you to an intermediate level. I'd say this book doesn't take you as far as the Ballhatchet book, but it has the advantages of being far better paced. I am very happy with my purchase. I would recommend anyone interested in learning japanese purchase all the "teach yourself" books. They're very good. There is: Beginner's Japanese, 2 x Teach yourself Japanese, Instant Japanese, beginner's japanese script, and Japanese conversation. Also, Teach yourself Business japanese is on the horizon. I hope this review helps and doesn't confuse. Especially there being 2 "Teach youself Japanese". The Helen Ballhatchett book goes further but very fast, this one seems to be better paced.
One last point, yes perhaps it would be better to review it when i've finished reading this book. I will when done. But for now there were no reviews for this item posted, and i thought this would help people make up their minds. o-ki otsukete!
