Hiragana From Zero!: The Complete Japanese Hiragana Book, with integrated workbook and answer key (Japanese Writing From Zero!) Paperback – November 24, 2014

If you can't afford or have time to go to special training this is the best and most orderly way of learning the first alphabet of the Japanese language, Hiragana.You generally learn 5 characters at a time, then move on to the next 5 in a logical order, learning a few Japanese words along the way.The book gives a very good, written in English, pronunciation of the letters. The only thing missing, which is impossible in a book, is actually hearing the sound. But with the English pronunciation guides that's really not a problem.If you Have the book 'Japanese From Zero' you don't need this book, but for me it's nice to have Hiragana to study by itself before moving on.

Just what I needed! Sooooo easy to follow!Got so excited and impressed when I notice that it actually help me. Is not the first time I try to learn something on my own and is not easy. But with this method, I'm sure I'll succeed!!

Good for if you're someone who needs a bit of extra practice to memorize things like me. Has plenty of space for handwriting practice.

This is an excellent tool that I've been using in conjunction with the Japanese From Zero books, online classes, and YouTube lessons. This really helped during the beginning when I was getting my feet wet with Kana. Highly recommended!

My daughter is enjoying the book. I printed off some blank writing sheets so she can do additional practice for her writing. She enjoys how it is broken down into lessons.

I have bought a few books to study Hiragana and there all the same, pratice 20x's and nothing else. This book is different. It make you use what you learned in writing the Hiragana in practice and scentences. This book dosn't make you just repeate over and over it makes you use what you learned.

This book was excellent. I had attempted to learn hiragana on my own but found the symbols all confusing and hard to remember, but Japanese From Zero's progressive learning style help so much. I highly recommend this book.

Couldn’t ask for a better way to learn Hiragana other than a real person teaching a class. I use it everyday and it’s very important in my learning process. Arrived very fast.
