Editorial Reviews: Now anyone can learn a foreign language while commuting to work, running errands, or even taking a trip with the family. The new all-audio Drive Time series starts with an ingenious “On-Ramp” CD that eases language learners into Spanish, French, Italian, German, or Japanese with simple, practical expressions and engaging warm-up exercises. Three additional CDs contain 18 lessons that cover all of the essentials—vocabulary, pronunciation, grammar, and basic conversation. Drive Time also includes a 64-page reference guide for anyone who would like to see spellings or read dialogues as a review—from the passenger seat, of course!
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Yatta! Comment: I have tried many many programs and classes to learn a language and this has been amazing! I listen to a track or two when running errands. I only procede when I fully understand the previous tracks. It's great because I can work at my own pace and not someone elses. I know there have been complaints that you can't learn how to read/write with this products, but that's not what this product is for. besides- toddlers learn speech before they learn how to spell and write. Customer Rating: Summary: Not good for tourists Comment: This tape course is great for people who really want/need in-depth Japanese lessons or review. You get a good idea of sentence structure and pronunciation. However, if you are trying to learn some basic Japanese for a short-term trip, this is not the tape for you. You need to know how to ask for basic items (food, beverages, train tickets, the bathroom). I've travelled to Japan once, and plan to go again, and I don't think I'll need to know how to say "It's a big new car" or "Let's go to a concert" to a total stranger on the street. Buy this tape if you need some support for reglar Japanese lessons, or just want to generally improve your understanding of the language for business or regular travel. Nice set-up, but not practical for day-to-day needs. Customer Rating: Summary: Very effective so far Comment: At the moment I've almost finished with the 2nd disc of lessons, and already I can communicate with some of my friends with the phrases I've learned. Of course, it's designed for the absolute beginner, but that's what I am so it's working well. I've heard these are difficult if you don't have much of a commute. My commute is about half an hour long each way, and that's more than enough time to get through a lesson. Customer Rating: Summary: perfect for drivers Comment: this is a perfect japanese learning tool for when you are in a car and a beginners. one of things that i like about it is, it repeats words all the time, it just make you memorize it even if you are in the next chapter. highly recommended! Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent in the car Comment: Basically hear and repeat. Best if you have had at least some intro to Japanese pronounciation. Occasionally reference to the book also helps, but you don't have to be looking at anything to do the drills. More Reviews
