| This second interactive book in the "Jimi's Book of Japanese" series is a publishing rarity: a sequel that is every bit as good as the original. So many sequels come off like a side dish nobody ordered. But "Jimi's Book of Japanese: A Motivating Method to Learn Japanese(Katakana)" is just as fresh and entertaining as the original. The lessons pick up seamlessly from where the first book left off, and don't feel forced at all. There are dozens of fresh, entertaining illustrations and new characters like Dizzy Fugu. Plus, the bonus material is simply genius! After all, any book that has monkeys, robots, and assorted other creatures teaching you how to speak Japanese has to be cool--and this book certainly is. Perfect for the Japanophile in you. |

 Jimi's Book of Japanese Sequel: As Fantastic as the First |
| Review Date: April 7, 2005 |
| Reviewer: Mojo Jojo, San Francisco, CA |
After hearing inumerable Japanese phrases and other assorted Asian utterances--most likely from the hours my 9-year old niece spends watching Samurai Jack and Avatar--I bought her two books in the Jimi's Book of Japanese series (this being the second) in an attempt to at least encourage her to further her foreign language efforts in a meaningful way.
These books are great. After a brief period of time she's mastered both basic syllable sets of modern Japanese. I am happy to say I would recommend both books to anyone who is looking to motivate their kids/relatives to expand their intellectual horizons.

Who says sequels aren't as good as the first?

| I am one of the fortunate few to find an early release edition of Jimi's Book of Japanese: A Motivating Method to Learn Japanese (katakana). I have to say that this book is a publishing rarity: a sequel that is every bit as good as the original. So many sequels come off like a side dish nobody ordered. But "Jimi's Book of Japanese: A Motivating Method to Learn Japanese(Katakana)" is just as fresh and entertaining as the original. The lessons pick up seamlessly from where the first book left off, and don't feel forced at all. There are so many wonderful illustrations and new characters like Dizzy Fugu.

Perfect for the Japanophile in me and perfect for the Japanophile in you. I give the book five stars!!! Thank you, Yumie Toka!!!! Thank you, Peter X.!!!! |

| I actually bought this book for a friend of my eldest daughter, who is a Manga fiend and loves Japanese. But I actually ended up keeping the book and I have been studying it with my five year old daughter. We have great fun practicing writing the "kani," and she looks forward to it. It's a great book with fun illustrations and nice colors. It is just right for beginning a study of Japanese characters. |
