The Pimsleur Method provides the most effective language-learning program ever developed. The Pimsleur Method gives you quick command of Japanese structure without tedious drills. Learning to speak Japanese can actually be enjoyable and rewarding. The key reason most people struggle with new languages is that they aren't given proper instruction, only bits and pieces of a language. Other language programs sell only these pieces -- dictionaries; grammar books and instructions; lists of hundreds or thousands words and definitions; audios containing useless drills. They leave it to you to assemble these pieces as you try to speak. Pimsleur enables you to spend your time learning to speak the language rather than just studying its parts. When you were learning English, could you speak before you knew how to conjugate verbs? Of course you could. That learning process is what Pimsleur replicates. Pimsleur presents the whole language as one integrated piece so you can succeed. With Pimsleur you get: - Grammar and vocabulary taught together in everyday conversation,
- Interactive audio-only instruction that teaches spoken language organically,
- The flexibility to learn anytime, anywhere,
- 30-minute lessons designed to optimize the amount of language you can learn in one sitting.
Millions of people have used Pimsleur to gain real conversational skills in new languages quickly and easily, wherever and whenever -- without textbooks, written exercises, or drills. Conversational Japanese includes the 10 lessons from Pimsleur's Basic Japanese plus an additional 6 lessons. The 16 lessons in Conversational Japanese are the same first 16 lessons in the Pimsleur Comprehensive Japanese Level 1. | | | |

 christmas present Jan 02, 2008
Purchased this product for a christmas present for our daughter. She has tried different books and such trying to learn Japanese. Within the first hour of listening she has already mastered a few sentacnes. I would highly recomend this product to anyone who is interested in learning it.

 Defective Pimsleur Conversational Japanese CDs Dec 30, 2007
DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT-IT IS DEFECTIVE. It is a set of 8 CDs, each of which contains two language lessons. Lesson 14 on CD 7 of the set was defective; specifically, the last 2-3 minutes of the lesson would not play properly (it skipped, popped, and was generally unintelligible). Per Amazon's recommendation, I first called Pimsleur directly and spoke with a customer service rep, who would not replace the CD without charging me a $20 shipping fee--not acceptable, since the CD was defective. I then called Amazon and spoke with a customer service rep, who sent me a replacement set free of charge, but lesson 14 on CD 7 of the second set was also defective. Since this appears to be a problem with an entire run of this product, I do not recommend buying it.

worth it Sep 14, 2007
The best part about these CD's is that there is no pressure- just follow along and it is amazing how much you will learn. It's not automatic but it is pretty fun.

Great for under $35 Aug 02, 2007
I picked it up for $23 with shipping and handling but still good under $35. I picked up the Russian, Italian, Spanish, and Brazilian Portuguese in the store years ago for $50 a piece. Cool to see the price is down here at amazon. I picked up nice greetings and casual conversation in about a week. I listen to it when I walk each day and it is nice as my skills grow in a nice easy manner without the need of a book. Great job Pimsleur.

 Good but could be better May 10, 2007
I tried this system first for Russian, and I was surprised it was pretty effective because I'm not a particularly aural person. But I did find that tracking down transliterations of the language (in this case Japanese) made it a lot easier to figure out what was actually being said. So the "better" part would be to provide those transliterations in a workbook.
