"An excellent book, and deserving of five stars, but allow me to clarify my rating: Kana is the easiest of the Japanese alphabets, and if you are living in Japan, it is the easiest one to practice just walking down the street. If you live in Japan and you are motivated to learn Japanese, you probably don't need this version.
Japanese for Busy People I already has plenty of Kana in it. If you already own JfBP-I it probably isn't worthwhile to get the Kana version in addition.
This book *is* good if you are learning Japanese OUTSIDE of Japan, in anticipation of going to Japan. You can easily master Kana before you arrive, and if you do, it will be very high-yield, since it will allow you to read almost half of the Japanese you see around in the environment. (e.g. on signs, menus, etc... as opposed to in books and newspapers -you'll really have to learn Hirugana and Kanji for those)"
"I started studying Japanese in my Freshman year of high school. We learned the Hiragana alphabet, but we never really worked on Katakana, other than to learn how to write our names. The lessons in this book made it easy and fun to continue my Japanese language education. Now that I am familiar with both writing systems, I can move on to the more complicated Kanji. I think this book would be good for anyone interested in starting to learn the Japanese language. It not only teaches the writing system, it also has some basic vocabulary and grammar."
