Over the years Japanese has borrowed numerous words from English, so you already know far more Japanese than you realized. This book first unlocks this gold mine of Japanese vocabulary, then leverages that instant knowledge to help you get a handle on the remainder of the language, taking advantage of your frequent travel or virtual exposure to the language and culture. We believe the student is best served by learning and using Katakana and Hiragana. This books uses no Romaji. This book also uses applicable Kanji while showing readings in Kana.
