Amazing resource.

After two months I managed to finish listening to all of it, about 15 hours is a long time and takes some commitment to complete. The reader did a good job reading each sentence clearly and I only remember her making a mistake once (she used some other word instead of body in one sentence where body was supposed to be read)

I rated the performance with 3 stars because a fundamental flaw of this course is the lack of a Japanese only audio. One big part of learning a new language is revising and re-listening to the material you've already studied, too much time would be wasted if you do that with this material in it's current state, nonetheless the material is very good and I'm happy I found it and got to listen to Miss Rieah Masubuchi's voice for so long.

Great book (with minor tweaks)

I like this book and will continue to listen to it. I have a fair understanding of Japanese grammar, so I’m now trying to learn more words.

Here’s the current format: (1) You hear a Japanese word; (2) You hear the English definition; (3) You hear the Japanese word in a sentence (all in Japanese); and (4) You hear the English translation of the sentence.

Here’s my feedback: (1) A native Japanese speaker gives the new Japanese word; (2) A native English speaker translates the word and gives you a sentence with the new word in it. (This would be helpful as the current narrator’s pronunciation, syllabification, usage, etc. is awkward to my ears; and (3) A native male and female Japanese speaker both say the sentence so I can hear it twice. I found that men and women have very different speech in Japan.

Finally, I think it would be more interesting to even introduce two new words at a time, so the speaker can see the place of each word in the sentence.

Useful tool to learn Japanese

This audible  is a useful tool to learn Japanese. It provides helpful conversational phrases and expressions for casual Japanese conversation. The audio is clear,  making it easy to follow and understand. I love how the culture is integrated  in the audible which makes it relevant to the user.

Excellent Japanese language learning tool

I learned the 2000 most common Japanese words, some more useful than others. I found it helpful to listen to each chapter twice in succession so once I learned a new word, I would hear it again soon afterwards.

It works very well with daily self-study

This audiobook is a useful collection of common Japanese words and expressions. It could be an excellent complement to daily self-study for those who have basic knowledge of the language, especially in grammar aspects.

The recordings are flawless in intonation and vocabulary, using the word both alone and at its context, and could be an awesome guide to quick access by hand, when combined with the use of the platform's bookmark.
