Jimi's Book of Japanese: A Motivating Method to Learn Japanese (Katakana) (Jimi's Book of Japanese) (Jimi's Book of Japanese)

This second interactive book in the "Jimi's Book of Japanese" series is a publishing rarity: a sequel that is every bit as good as the original. So many sequels come off like a side dish nobody ordered. But "Jimi's Book of Japanese: A Motivating Method to Learn Japanese(Katakana)" is just as fresh and entertaining as the original. The lessons pick up seamlessly from where the first book left off, and don't feel forced at all. There are dozens of fresh, entertaining illustrations and new characters like Dizzy Fugu. Plus, the bonus material is simply genius! After all, any book that has monkeys, robots, and assorted other creatures teaching you how to speak Japanese has to be cool--and this book certainly is. Perfect for the Japanophile in you.

5Fun and I learned something  May 21, 2008
Wonderful idea! You can pick a page or 2 a day and in no time you are learning Katakana. Each page is short, graphic and catches your attention. It is also small and thin enough to slide into your backpack so you can get a mini lesson in anytime you want. I think it's a great way to begin learning Japanese. I got this book together with Jimi's Book of Hirigana for a 1 , 2 punch.

5very good for young japanese people living abroad  Mar 20, 2008
Nothing to say, provided you are an 8 years old japanese living abroad you will learn in no time kana with these two books.
A must for collectionism, there is something better if you are just interestd to loearn kana in no time ( try remembering the kana by Heisig).

4Jimi's book rules  Aug 23, 2007
it's a real good book, but they got to make a new edition with all kana. The book shows how to draw 46 of 104 existing kana. I really enjoy it. However I think it should have more pages :D Both books are great : Jimi's Book of Japanese: A Motivating Method to Learn Japanese (Hiragana) and Jimi's Book of Japanese: A Motivating Method to Learn Japanese (Katakana)

5Jimi's Book of Japanese Sequel: As Fantastic as the First  Mar 25, 2007
Jimi's Book of Japanese: A Motivating Method to Learn Japanese (Katakana) (Jimi's Book of Japanese)

After hearing inumerable Japanese phrases and other assorted Asian utterances--most likely from the hours my 9-year old niece spends watching Samurai Jack and Avatar--I bought her two books in the Jimi's Book of Japanese series in an attempt to at least encourage her to further her foreign language efforts in a meaningful way.

These books are great. After a brief period of time she's mastered both basic syllable sets of modern Japanese. I am happy to say I would recommend both books to anyone who is looking to motivate their kids/relatives to expand their intellectual horizons.
