This DVD has phrases which are broken into five sections: greetings, directions, dining, shopping, and safety. I thought people would be shown using the phrases in various situations, but it was recorded in a studio. After they say a phrase, the written English and Japanese appears (one in kanji/hiragana/katakana and the other in romanji).

As a beginner, I'm finding this DVD very helpful since the written and spoken versions of sentences appear together. (I wish the Pimsleur language program came with written material.)

This is a pared down version, and the DVD is full of ads for the full version. There are no comprehensible instructions, and the lessons are confusing. I just went in loops, with the same words being thrown at me over and over and then warnings that I had not completed the full lesson. One module said there were 16 words, but in a half hour I could only make four come up. Whew!

The basic phrases and repeated pronunciations would be helpful for anyone that has a trip coming up and in need of a few items to show interest in the Japanese language and culture. Having two people, one male, one female, alternating speaking words / phrases.

Product came prompted but didn't receive a phrasebook as stated on the dvd. Which was kind of a bummer.
