Case Closed (Detective Conan) Amuro Toru Selection: Zero no Suirigeki (Shogakukan Junior Bunko)Aoyama Gosho, Sakai SajiI love it!I’m a big amuro fan so of course I had to get this book! It was surprising that it was actually a novel instead of a manga, considering how it wasn’t clearly stated in the description, but nevertheless I still enjoyed the read. If you’re a DC and amuro fan with decent japanese knowledge then I recommend grabbing it to practice reading jp more fluently. Oh yea there’s also furigana and it helps out a ton.

Minna no Nihongo Elementary Japanese Level1 Main Textbook [Second Edition]3A NetworkGood, but can be a bit overwhelmingSoftbound. It also comes with a CD with 72 minutes worth of audio material. I like that the pages are cream-colored because they're easier on my eyes. The prints are clear too, I just wish that the fonts were a bit bigger. The book's paper is more on the semi-translucent side, but if you're not picky about that then this book should be okay. I also like the bright yellow map on the front and back inside cover, but I'm not sure how I'm going to protect this book now because the jacket overlaps with the map, and if I place plastic cover on it, I won't see a huge part of the map anymore. In terms of studying, all lessons are in Japanese, so you'll need knowledge in kana and maybe even basic kanji before starting with this book. Lesson 1 already has kanji in it. It can feel overwhelming if you're not familiar with kana and kanji. It would be best if you have a teacher while studying this, but doing this on your own is fine as long as you have the time to put in the hard work. I think it would be best to get the companion translation and grammar notes book if you're studying on your own though. A translation software can only get you so far when it comes to understanding the lessons.

Kanarazu Dekiru! JLPT "Dokkai" N3 1 Bun Kara Hajimeru Step up ShikiAndo Eriko, Adachi NaokoExcellent Dokkai practiceI am currently working with this book in preparation for the Jlpt test N3. I do enjoy the format of the book, it contains a warm up section and continues to guide you through several reading exercises. It is meant to be covered daily and has space for dates. It also marks the amount of time so you can start practicing for the exam times. I do recommend it for everyone trying to improve their Dokkai.

Japanese Graded Readers (Level Betsu Nihongo Tadoku) Library Level 0 Vol.2NPO Corporation Nihongo Tadoku KenkyukaiExtremely helpfulThe Japanese graded readers are, in my opinion, extremely useful when learning Japanese. The stories are easy to read and understand, words are repeated over and over - which helps with memorization- and the illustrations are colorful and help a lot with understanding the story(s). I also like that you get many little stories. Perfect length: not too long, not too short.

1500 Essential Vocabulary for the JLPT N4 [English and Vietnamese translation]Arc AcademyGreat book to brush up your vocabularyThe chapters group the vocabulary into some useful groups. In addition to each entry there is the translation, some example sentences and also additional entries provided like opposites such as good vs bad. Some pages are added explaining graphically some topics such as family or jobs. Also red card is a nice addition, once put over the page the japanese is not visible so you can train translations from English/Vietnamese into Japanese. Unfortunately not the other way round. Finally the physical format of that book is great and in the beginning the usage is well explained.

Minna no Nihongo Elementary Japanese Level2 Translation and Grammatical Notes [Spanish Edition] [Second Edition]3A NetworkMuy utilEl libro sirve como un complemento para el minna no nihongo II y ser autodidacta, pero no es un reemplazo del maestro. Llega en buen estado, protegido con papel y envuelto en plastico burbuja. Es ligero y comodo al tacto, incluso viene con su guardapolvo. Si pueden comprar el libro principal y este como complemento al mismo tiempo, seria lo ideal.
