The book is just absolutely fantastic on so many levels. I first noticed the wonderful enclosed-spiral binding which is solid, durable and lays flat. The artwork is simply beautiful, with softly colored pen and ink/watercolor humanistic manga-style illustrations. A complete hiragana character chart on the front inside cover and 23 included kanji, as well as a basic Japanese language pronounciation guide serve as quick references when working on the exercises, and a glossary at the back includes all vocabulary words learned throughout the book. Katakana are not presented in this edition.The book is arranged as a story wherein three friends are greeted by a wise elder Fox and his faithful helper who masterfully manages to pique the curiosity of the initially skeptical kids. The attitude of the kids is very hip and tends toward slight sarcasm, but their observations are always spot-on, and the delivery is tasteful. My 9 year old son instantly identified with the characters and was hooked. The "masters" are loveable and endearing, providing wry commentary and tongue-in-cheek pomposity befitting their ancient sage status. Together they embark on a journey to speak, write, and read Japanese, as well as gain a better understanding of Japanese culture.Lessons begin by focusing on Japanese grammar, using an extremely user-friendly hybrid of English words with Japanese syntax and particles,(Japanenglish) to firmly cement word order and importance of subject marker, object marker, location marker and question marker. From there, hiragana are introduced seamlessly as the reader/student is carried along the journey by way of the engaging storyline. Potentially confusing elements of the language are cleverly and humorously acknowledged and clarified by the student characters and masters respectively. This has one been one of the most remarkable acheivements of the book in that the reader feels that the characters in the book are *themselves* striving to learn something rather different than they are used to. In this respect, I think that children (or any students using the book) will feel they have advocates who understand their frustration.We are relaxed homeschoolers, and after several only marginally successful attempts at foreign language learning, this book has been the proverbial "dream come true". It is fun, entertaining, well designed, clear, culturally relevant, visually beautiful and comprehensive. It is perfect for self-directed learning as it is not divided into lessons or units, but rather the student takes on "challenges" directly from the master. (Answers to these challenges are provided in the back of the book.) A family treasure-My most sincere thanks and appreciation to the team that put this amazing book together...Ganbatte! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Book we needed *by K***R on February 3, 2017* I have been trying to learn Japanese on my own for a few years off and on, have two children in high school Japanese, 2nd year, and an 11 year old. I, myself, have studied Korean and Spanish at a university level and was finding Japanese much more difficult due to the different alphabets and Kanji.My 15 year old daughter has just learned she will go to Japan as an exchange student and the Rotary club recommended our whole family get involved with learning Japanese. We had difficulties with even children's books presenting mixtures of romaji, hiragana, katakana, and Kanji. We wanted to just focus on hiragana to learn it well and were looking for a book to reinforce hiragana skills. We want to avoid romaji. This book is perfect. A sensei Fox teaches about Japan, using both English and Japanese using hiragana. It also teaches the most basic kanji. It is a very visual book with lots of pictures. My high schoolers may find it too easy right now, but I can see them picking it up in a few years for a quick review of Japanese as I have done with Korean over the years. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Looks useful *by M***R on November 13, 2016* I haven't gone through it with my son yet, but I read through the first part and it seems more confusing than I had hoped. It didn't seem to have clear phonetics so I can tell how the words are pronounced; however, I did not sit down with it and really study it. I'm still hopeful that it will be easy to use. I also like the fact that it focuses on writing. My son doesn't like to write much, but he does love learning cursive and so I think he might like to write in Japanese. It might be useful if they added a CD that at least gave the alphabet and some numbers, etc., just to have an idea how things should be sounding. Overall, I'm pleased and I think it will be fun to use. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/6044417-im-learning-japanese-a-language-adventure-for-young-people-spiral](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/6044417-im-learning-japanese-a-language-adventure-for-young-people-spiral) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
