Just like English, Japanese has a wide variety of dialects, accents, and vocabularies. Japanese 101 focuses on standard and polite Japanese which will be understood throughout all regions.

Native female and male speakers teach you 101 words in 5 common categories: Greetings, Dining, Directions, Shopping, and Safety.

There are three progressive learning levels. In the first level, you can see and hear each word spoken slowly twice. You are encouraged to repeat it. In the second level, you see and hear each word once. And in the third level, you do not see the word at all.

In addition to the DVD, we've included a small insert with each English and corresponding Japanese word. Use this insert as part of your learning or just as a reference tool when you travel.

Japanese 101 is perfect if you are a beginning language learner or just want to learn a few words for your travels.

In addition to 101 critical Japanese words, this DVD includes a bonus section of numbers and days of the week.
