Learning basic Japanese that helps as would love to go visit there someday. Great hearing clear speech and can listen along and repeat as much as I like. I think Audio Set good idea and goes along with other resources like general phrase books etc you can get.

I bought this about a month before going to Japan. Too late to learn anything I hear you say? No… not at all, by constantly listening to it on the way to work every day (2hrs each day), I was soon mastering the basics. Without this I’d have had some real trouble on my trip, with it I manged to master the basics, and grasp the pronunciation, so even though I might not have been able to recall the correct phrase when confronted with a real life situation, I could at least pronounce it correctly when I looked it up in the handy book.
The only fault I’d give the CDs is that it would be handy to have split the CD tracks by word/phrase, rather than section of the book to aid skipping back and forth in the car, but then that’s more a limitation of my car stereo than a real flaw with the CD.

It does exactly what it says on the tin, namely try to teach you some very basic Japanese vocabulary and expressions. Bear in mind that this is not a real language course though: it doesn’t do a very good job at explaining language structure for instance, which means that you will be able to repeat “ready-made” sentences but not build many of your own.

Love these, as listen to them in the car to and from work or any journey long enough to go through it.

Easy to use – just pop it in your cd player and listen on the way to work. In no time I had grasped the basics. The accompanying phrase book is really handy for when you’re on holiday as well.

It’s a good tool to use to grasp a good general understanding of the Japanese language. However there are no words that appear or anything, it’s just 100% audio which is quite a disadvantage if you wanted to see the words appear.
Each lesson starts with the English word first such as “Good morning” and then the Japanese word follows “Ohayou Gozaimasu”.

A decent mini phrasebook featuring useful content.
