Jason rated 5 out of 5 Awesome Practical Language Lesson! Wish I had it when I was in Japan. 08/15/2007 ~ Jason

Love this lesson. Sarah, who doesn't explain, but it seems like she is a native Japanese speaker, or at least clearly very good at Japanese, teaches her friend Brittanie critical phrases for a trip to Japan. It covers the essential like Thank you, excuse me, and do you speak English. And at 13 minutes, it's about the right length for me to practice in one sitting and retain. I'd love to see an audio version of this, as well as a handout would be great. And of course, please make more lessons. How about how to order food?

 


Brittanie rated 4 out of 5 Just like the tapes but better 08/06/2007 ~ brittanie

Ever since The Last Samurai with Tom Cruise came out I've been wanting to learn how to speak an Asian language. Of course learning what's necessary for travel purposes comes before trying to communicate with a fully dressed samurai...This video accomplishes teaching the basics and does so in a very warm and friendly way, much friendlier than language on tapes lessons.
