Japanese for Dummies was an okay read. In some instances I found the explanations simple and well presented. At other times, though, it all felt too bare-boned. This book is probably good for travellers looking to pick up phrases and understand a little Japanese for a trip to Tokyo. If you are a serious learner, however, there are better texts out there for your purposes. 3.5 stars
