I'm in love with this book! At first I was afraid it was going to be too different that could be complicated to learn, compared to the Minna no Nihongo beginner books it is in fact a bit different, but in a good way. The activities became more extensive and it has a lot more content to learn, but the stories and characteres make it way more intuitive and fun! It is a must-buy! Amazing book!!

The presentation and care for shipping is excellent and the book is excellent condition. I’m be recommending highly

I'm starting learning Japanese on my own, and I found a small review of "Nihongo ga Ippai" (actually I only found one in Spanish, none in English). I ordered the second printing, which has a green line and circle on the cover (they are red on the first published printing). I only found it in a couple of Japanese websites, like CDJapan, and in Amazon.com or Amazon.co.jp (it's not in Amazon.es). The book (in both printings) is in English and Japanese. I have recently received the book (it took a while from Japan to Spain, but it arrived perfectly), and I find it really good and useful! I just started with it, and it's very clear, very easy to understand and follow. It has conversations, vocabulary, grammar, exercises (it includes a separate booklet with the answers), all very well organized. The explanations are very easy to understand, and it also has some notes about the use of the language, and even some pieces about the culture. A very good book to get a basic knowledge and to advance from it. I strongly recommend it! Congratulations to the authors on this great book, and thank you very much for having created it! (I'm so glad I found it!).

Easy to understand with concise explanation and example sentences. The size is also very convenient. This is a very good reference book for studying Japanese and should be a part of every Nihongo student’s library. Kudos to CD Japan for the very efficient service and timely delivery. I received my book in 8 days. This was my second time to order because I was really happy when I received my first set of order. I’m hooked to ordering books from CD Japan now.

I think this book is fantastic. Be warned that there really is not much English in this book. The format is basically this: Left side of page - introduces 2-3 grammar points that are similar. Includes a very short English explanation and several example sentences. Right side of page - 10 to 25 practice problems (answers in the back of the book) The thing that is so good about this book is that the example sentences and practice problems are extremely well designed. They are not just random sentences that happen to contain the grammar point, they are carefully crafted to be clear and easy to understand while demonstrating a specific way to use the grammar point. A great example about being clear is in the section about ni vs de. One of the practice problems basically says (my translation, from memory): "We built a window [in] the room. Afterwards the room was brighter." They could have just written the first sentence, but they included the second to remove any trace of ambiguity (are they building the window INTO the room or are they building A window in room that is going to be placed somewhere else (is that possible?)). I absolutely appreciated when they did that, every time. I was familiar with 75% of the grammar going into this book, but I learned something worthwhile on every page. If you have any doubt about your N4 grammar, pick up this book.

A great gift for all Miku lovers and wishing to get start Japanese. But I really don't like explanation like that: "This song was produced to allow various interpretations". I'm talking about Rimocon song. If you want to know the truth, read Rimokon novel. http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/NEOBK-1806127?s_ssid=e35865b6d9fd8c768

El libro llego en buen estado Es la edicion del 2012, pero la metodologia sigue vigente para aquellos que desean comunicarse en japones. En resumen: Minna no Nihongo es un material introductorio bueno

Here it is: The perfect method to learn Japanese! Clear, well-written and affordable, it is the must-have for those who want to learn this fascinating language!

C est un complement indispensable au livre principal (ecrit entierement en japonais). A eux deux, ces ouvrages permettent de se former seul au japonais.

This book is really useful for revising, it comes with a clear red card you can use to hide the words Which is helpful when testing your knowledge. The explanations are simple but precise.

Pretty nice book! Includes qustions as in jlpt, answers, explanation for each qustion (translation, reading, similiar words, some grammar points). The only thing that could make this book better is listening comprehension.

According to the discription, this book includes all the kanji that you should know to pass n5/4. Well, there's pretty much vocabulary in there and it's all divided by themes, but I feel lack of at least some excercises for remembering new words. So I think it's good only for revising, not remembering new words. Each word is accomponied by translation and furigana.

Just as the book for n5/4, this book includes just words, translation and reading, nothing else, so you need to brave yourself for difficult process of remembering new words as no exercises are suggested. It's good for revising, but for learning new words you'll need smth else.

A book based off a lovely film. The Tsubasa Bunko line is very good for those who are learning Japanese.

This book is modeled after the current format of The Japanese Language Proficiency Exam (JLPT). The practice questions will give a taste of what the test will fell like and what the examinee should expect. The CD that comes along with it is important for the listening comprehension. Very affordable so anyone on almost any budget could probably get one. If you are a beginner (at least one year or more of study) of the language thinking about taking the JLPT for the first. Start with this. It won't set you back.

This was nice practice book to help me prepare for the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT). This book comes with an abundance of questions that are in the style of the real JLPT N5 (lowest level; meant for beginners). You get questions from all components: characters, vocabulary, grammar, reading comprehension, listening comprehension. The extra practice I got from this book helped me feel more confident since I study solo. I was able schedule how much of each section to do each day. You even get mock tests so you can practice on the clock. Thumbs up!

This version of the novel has furigana in every kanji so it's perfect for everyone learning japanese language. Also, it's very easy to understand the story (I guess they made it easier for children to read this book). The illustrations are beautiful and the quality of the paper is incredible. It's a great story too, and it's very nice to have the book even if you've already watched the movie. I believe there are minor details in this novel book that wasn't shown in the movie.

I used this textbook as part of Japanese study at university. (And I bought it through here because I thought that it would end up cheaper than what my uni charged) (it was $10 cheaper at another bookshop than what I ordered it for,postage included) This is a great little textbook - however if you are studying on your own you will need to get the translation book. (You might need it if you are studying through uni anyway) Also there's little people diagrams in there that are really cute too.
