Publisher's summary

The perfect Japanese course for travel in Japan. It is designed to help you ask for the things you’re most likely to need when visiting Japan and to give you the skills to cope with situations you might find yourself in.

It is different from other courses in that you also learn to understand the likely replies to your questions. You will hear key words and phrases used in dialogues between native speakers, so you learn not only how to say them but also how they are used in conversation.

Topics covered:

Unit 1: Greetings
Unit 2: Attracting attention
Unit 3: Nationalities
Unit 4: Occupations
Unit 5: Asking directions
Unit 6: Going places (1): where?
Unit 7: Going places (2): when?
Unit 8: Going places (3): how?
Unit 9: Food (1): wants
Unit 10: Food (2): likes and dislikes
Unit 11: Ordering drinks
Unit 12: Paying the bill

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Functionality

Collins Easy Learning Japanese is the very first language learning course that has fully grasped my attention throughout. A great deal to the voice; enticing and articulative! There is also so much functionality in the choice of words/phrases that this audio course teaches!

Very good for Basic Travel

This book is easy to follow, and it makes learning easy. It is great for basic travel only, nothing relating to reservations or anything like that. Purchases and restaurants are the most comped it gets.

Why does it stop there?

Among the (too) many introductions to the Japanese language this one is really very nice, both in content and form (including really pleasant voices).

But as in most cases, the producers are obviously not able/willing to go with the method a bit wider (that would be quite easy, doing similar stuff in different situations) and few levels higher. How sad and frustrating - and somehow cheap.

The claim that once you have finished the book you will be able to communicate in many situations in Japan is totally ridiculous.

Leaving the labels aside, I still liked to listen to the book.
