Japanese For Young People I: Student Book

I am currently using Japanese for young people. I used to use Japanese for Busy people (that was what the school used) but now that I have a tutor, I can use any book. Japanese for busy people is for business people and fill in the blank while Japanese for Young People is more school related, has more exercises, and forces you to think and memorize the vocabulary.

My daughter's Japanese instructor used this book with her as a beginner, and it gave her a great base of vocabulary and grammar to build on. Very easy to understand.

The book itself is falling apart on me, but that is probably due to over-use! Content is great and is helping me along my journey to learning Japanese, thanks!

It will serve me well for what I need - teaching my niece Japanese over Skype. It introduces grammar in orders slightly different that I probably would if I were writing my own book, but it's not so bad. I am not a 15 year old girl, but from my nieces's perspective I think she's liking it. I think she can see the practicality of the vocabulary and all that.

very helpful educational book . Gives you the basics. However, u need to have a book for practicing herigana and katakana if you want a good start :)

Bought this for a beginner learner teen, it seems very clear and easy to use.

A good textbook for young beginners. Contains nice illustrations and a big amount of material dealing with communication, though, as for me, the grammar part is quite small

The contents and vocabulary of the book are really good as it introduces really important information early in the book, the only problem is that the examples are really confusing on how to do them. There is Example#2 part 1 part 2, and then you get all mixed up because there are numbers all over the place. But if you get the hang of the examples, it is a really complete book for absolute beginners.
