Best for Review

What made the experience of listening to Learn Japanese: Word Power 101 the most enjoyable?

I think this works best for listeners who are already studying the basics, like vocabulary and grammar. For an absolute beginner, it may be overwhelming. I study Japanese on and off (and it probably helps that I took two years worth of academic courses in high school), and I am happy to note that I understood almost all of this lesson, and it's free!

What was one of the most memorable moments of Learn Japanese: Word Power 101?

It's really great for review, and for me, it helps cement the basic grammatical structure of the language without the dry and tedious grammar lessons that are typical of academia-based courses. Academia is great if you are majoring in the language from an expert linguist or university-level perspective, but for someone who just wants to start speaking naturally as quickly as possible, I find this much more helpful. Academic/linguistic reductionism can wait until you've at least learned some basic vocabulary and phrases! Anyway, that's why I like audiobooks or podcasts like these, because I can hear the language being spoken naturally. For this specific lesson, like I said, I think it works best if you already know basic vocab and grammar, but for the price (free), it's very good!

Good for reviewing vocabulary for beginners

helped me in reviewing vocabulary and basic essential sentences when I am on my train to work

For Intermediate learning.

I thought the lessons were great and well presented. However, it's beyond my level, which is absolute beginner.

Not 101

This book should be paired with other learning materials, as it is not an immersive course. The speaker is clear and concise, but if you don't know how written Japanese is actually supposed to sound, using this as a guide to communicate is just a shot in the dark.

Good for beginners

lt' a great way to review básicamente vocabulary. I would recomiend this course to false beginners.

Ok

Good refresh for beginners and intermediates that are currently study Japanese at any location of the world.

it's a step up beginners who have the basics down.

When the native speaker spoke, the beginning of some of the words would cut out. but other than that, it had excellent examples for different scenarios. overall good immersion into the language.

Completely updated & awesome!

If you could sum up Learn Japanese: Word Power 101 in three words, what would they be?

practical, short, effective

Any additional comments?

The new update of this book is way better than what used to be here. The words are actually the top 100 words, and each one is given with a phrase, and very practical sample sentences.

Not for absolute beginner I think...

You will have to know some basics words / verbs to make full use of this book. The pdf link "Download the accompanying reference guide." is not the correct file???

chapter

one of the chapters wasnt there and was just a repeat of the previous chapter - otherwise good
