Learn Japanese for Adult Beginners: 7 Books in 1: Speak Japanese In 30 Days! : ToWin, Explore: desertcart.co.uk: Books Review: Excellent learning resource - What sets this book apart is its clarity. Grammar explanations are straightforward without being oversimplified, and dialogues reflect authentic workplace and social situations. Cultural notes are especially helpful, offering context that deepens understanding beyond vocabulary and sentence patterns. The structured progression builds confidence steadily, while review sections reinforce retention. Review: Excellent books, ruined by the robotic voiceover - I used to love watching anime as a child, and have previously used Explore to Win's books whilst learning French, so I was curious to see how their Japanese course was. The content is very detailed and thorough. The way certain end of chapter exercises are written, means they do not make much sense in audiobook form, for example the chapters based on the 3 different scripts used in Japanese writing, as you can not see them. Included with the audiobook, however, is a pdf copy of the books, so you can do those exercises on there and use the audiobook to learn the pronunciation at the same time. It would be useful if the audiobook pointed out which page to turn to, so that you could sync your learning and work on your reading and writing skills whilst also improving your listening skills. The one thing I disliked, was the voiceover. It was obvious that it was computer generated, using a word bank that I previous voiceactor had recorded. This was a shame, as the voice sounded jilted and unnatural, and it distracted me from what I should have been learning. It would be great if it could be re-recorded, using a human, so that the excellent content can shine. The videos were a nice extra, and built on the previous learning. The stories, however, again sounded very robotic, and made me want to switch off, which is a shame, as I'm sure the content was interesting and useful to learn from. Overall, I quite liked this resource and found it to be thorough and a very comprehensive learning tool. It's just a shame that the voiceover is so poor. If you recorded it again, with a human narrating, and pointing out which page listeners needed to go to find the corresponding exercises, then it would easily be one of the best beginners Japanese courses on the market. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
