Japanese Resource Review #16: Japanese For DUMMIES!!

I definitely was pleasantly surprised by this book. I'm sure you are like me and are probably carrying some baggage on this title just because of the series it's from. But when all the hype is removed, what is really left? How much value does this book add for the language learning community and where does it stand in comparison to other textbooks? Lets give Japanese For Dummies the run down on this week's Japanese Resource Review!

Thanks for this video, i was about to order this book online but i had doubts so i download a free pdf first, then i found this video.. For now I'll scan the pdf first before buying the physical copy.. Why i wanna buy the physical copy? Because reading through my phone strains my eyes.. 😭

14:16 what is with the 'Hark the Herald Angels Sing'? That's a Christmas song.

I think the books (for most languages) are useful for Beginners. The phonetic pronunciations are useful for those working on stress, pronunciation, or vowel reduction. I think it's useful to have that as a beginner. You could try to read the characters, and if you get stumped as to the sound, you look at the sound bit. It's really basic, and can only help for so long, but is useful.

When I first started learning Japanese, before Genki, I used Japanese Demystified and have great memories of it but honestly don't know if it's actually any good, haha.

Yeah as the do not judge the cover of the book!

Would you say genki is the best book for a 15 year old, who is serious about learning Japanese
