 christmas present Jan 02, 2008
Purchased this product for a christmas present for our daughter. She has tried different books and such trying to learn Japanese. Within the first hour of listening she has already mastered a few sentacnes. I would highly recomend this product to anyone who is interested in learning it.

 Defective Pimsleur Conversational Japanese CDs Dec 30, 2007
DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT-IT IS DEFECTIVE. It is a set of 8 CDs, each of which contains two language lessons. Lesson 14 on CD 7 of the set was defective; specifically, the last 2-3 minutes of the lesson would not play properly (it skipped, popped, and was generally unintelligible). Per Amazon's recommendation, I first called Pimsleur directly and spoke with a customer service rep, who would not replace the CD without charging me a $20 shipping fee--not acceptable, since the CD was defective. I then called Amazon and spoke with a customer service rep, who sent me a replacement set free of charge, but lesson 14 on CD 7 of the second set was also defective. Since this appears to be a problem with an entire run of this product, I do not recommend buying it.

worth it Sep 14, 2007
The best part about these CD's is that there is no pressure- just follow along and it is amazing how much you will learn. It's not automatic but it is pretty fun.

Great for under $35 Aug 02, 2007
I picked it up for $23 with shipping and handling but still good under $35. I picked up the Russian, Italian, Spanish, and Brazilian Portuguese in the store years ago for $50 a piece. Cool to see the price is down here at amazon. I picked up nice greetings and casual conversation in about a week. I listen to it when I walk each day and it is nice as my skills grow in a nice easy manner without the need of a book. Great job Pimsleur.

 Good but could be better May 10, 2007
I tried this system first for Russian, and I was surprised it was pretty effective because I'm not a particularly aural person. But I did find that tracking down transliterations of the language (in this case Japanese) made it a lot easier to figure out what was actually being said. So the "better" part would be to provide those transliterations in a workbook.
