Very good

I really liked this program. it was simple and easy to understand. It covers speaking and writing very well, I would recommend for the beginner. Another cool thing is it installs on your computer so you don't have to use the CD everytime. Works great if you have a laptop with an external CD drive like I have. It also remembers where you left off from the last time.

Excellent Japanese learning tool

I've taken a Japanese class (using the Genki text) and this software supplemented my previous knowledge almost from the very beginning. The interface is simple but elegant. The tone of the chapters is friendly and conversational. I like how it introduces Hiragana and Katakana immediately. Also, the verbal pronunciation of the terms, the cultural asides, and the games are great features. I highly recommend Human Japanese to anyone who is looking for an easy introduction to the Japanese language.

It was good... get it

I have not yet really mastered the Japanese language yet due to me being lazy and not having much time, but the time I have spent using "Human Japanese" has been well spent. The lessons seem to progress logically and are informative. All in all i am satisfied with this product and would buy it again. Now it should be noted that I only gave this product 4 out of 5 stars, but that is not saying there is anything wrong with this product. It is just that I do not give 5 star ratings unless the product I am reviewing exceeds my unreasonably high expectations. All in all I would say if you are on the fence about this product, I don't think you will find a better piece of software for the money and probably many that are not as good for more.

Buy it.

Ideal program for beginners

Human Japanese is probably the ideal Japanese learning software available to beginners today. It doesn't go very far into advanced grammar points or kanji, but what it does, it does really well. The lessons are very well-written and easy to read, and every now and then, an article about Japanese culture and lifestyle pops-up which allows one to make a break from learning, yet discover more about the beautiful country, it's history, and traditions. Those willing to go a little deeper into advanced topics, as well as review what they've learned with Human Japanese, may want to try my Japanese educational game NihongoUp - [...].

So Gentle to the Learner

I bought this because of the price and the reviews. I had taken part of a semester of Japanese at the city college and boy was I disappointed. I have a good deal of language learning experience and I just felt like the teacher I had was making it way too complicated (although I think she was trying to make it easier in her defense). It really isn't all that difficult of complex a language. It's simply mysterious because of the writing system and grammar differences.

Here's my advice. Take the hiragana and write down the first ten characters. Repeat repeat repeat until you can do it from memory. Then add ten more. Repeat procedure. You will have all of your hiragana and katakana down in no time. Honestly, a couple of days would suffice if you really want to learn it quickly. Once you have that down, you will feel like you have your feet on the ground and the rest will not be so scary. If you would like to practice, you can google "hiragana practice" or something like that and find quite a few little quizzes or games, etc. That's a good way to keep it current.

Anyway, Human Japanese is exactly that, human. It's not going to treat you like a robot student and try to program you with information. Expect to be told digestable amounts of information. It will obviously be quite different than English, so just accept it and move on. Things will start to come together before long and you will find there are some things you actually understand. This is encouraging. Now and then, bits and pieces of cultural knowledge will come up to break up the lessons and keep it from getting boring. This is all done in a very friendly way, as if you were learning from a gentle tutor who just wants you to enjoy learning and eventually understand. Honestly, this is how it should be.

Also, customer support is very friendly.
