Product Information

The Art of Palm Reading also known as chiromancy or palmistry is the art of evaluating a person's character and future life by "reading" the palm of that person's hand.

Illustrations combine with the conversation, which proceeds at a natural pace in audio recordings, to help learners feel as if they are actually experiencing each situation. The only negative thing I can say about this particular book is that I would have liked the introduction of Kanji to start with this book instead of with the second book in the series. In comparison to the other languages, the vocabulary knows very few pronunciations in addition to sounds. The student will learn one character at a time and move onto reading and writing words and simple sentences.I have Japanese for Dummies and it seems to cover a lot of material but it feels very scattered and therefore hard for me to maintain focus when reading it. Through repeated oral and listening practice, learners will come to acquire the rhythm of real life Japanese conversation. Building on the grammar and vocabulary presented in Volume II, Japanese for Busy People III will enable readers to initiate, sustain, and close most basic conversations. The title, Japanese for Busy People, may sound like it's aimed at you, the busy student with so much on their plate.

Rather, it is designed to help learners consolidate their understanding of syntactical structure through lessons that focus on how to talk about topics relevant to daily life.

Now, more than a decade after its first revision, the series is being redesigned, updated and consolidated to meet the needs of todays students and businesspeople who want to learn natural, spoken Japanese as effectively as possible in a limited amount of time. Used this book for both self-study before my first trip to Japan, and it was also the class manual for my Japanese language classes (after I came back from my trip).I've beens studying with a teacher from Japan Online School, which I would recommend checking out also. In this book, Julian Moore brings together the ideas from the past and brings them right up to date with a fun, easy to remember system using an ancient divination technique.

You will have to learn Kana before using the book, but it is really simple and there are plenty of resources to do so. The figure of speech changes when you speak to your friend and when you speak to your family members. Japanese for Busy People' is, as the title suggests, a concise course for 'busy' students who want to learn natural spoken Japanese as effectively as possible in a limited amount of time.
