 Very Good but Better With Behind the Wheel Japanese June 1, 2005
16 out of 18 found this review helpful
Instant Immersion Japanese is a very good course and I have learned a good deal of Japanese from it. I highly recommend it.
I do feel strongly that a good 'car based' course such as Behind the Wheel Japanese is necessary to get the practice you need while driving.
My personal study itinerary involves using Instant Immersion Japanese at home and Behind the Wheel Japanese in my car. I am learning to speak and Japanese at a very rapid pace and am enjoying the process.
This is so awesome and it is helping me learn Japanese! January 26, 2005

I really love this progam because I'm learning Japanese. It is pretty hard but I always study every day and learn new things. My Japanese friend is helping and he said I'm doing good on it.
The first disk teaches you the basics like words and phreases. The second disk is so cool and it's helping learn new words. The third disk teaches you how to read and write in Japanese. The forth disk is has a study guide and a dictionary.
I really love this because it is helping me and I love it!
Sayonara!

I didn't buy this off of Amazon, but at the discount aisle at Fry's Electronics. I thought it was alright. I gave these a confusion level. 5 is the most, 0 is the least.
The first CD, Talk Now, was awesome. It teaches some basic words and phrases, along with colors, food, numbers, and a few other things. When you think you're ready to play the quiz game, you can get printable awards depending on how you did.
Confusion Level: 0
The second CD, World Talk, confused me so much. Just...no. I'm sorry if they meant well, but they sure as sugar DIDN'T do well on this one.
Confusion Level: 48,592,703,271,623,028
The third CD is Human Japanese. It's nice to know that it's not textbook Japanese and I actually learned grammar. You get writing lessons, grammar lessons, and how to pronounce the words correctly. I loved it and it's still one of my favorite Japanese programs. Every once in a while it all seems a bit overwhelming, though.
Confusion Level: 1.5
The fourth one, JquickTrans, is like a dictionary. You type in a word and it gives you the word in Japanese and some related words. It's kind of confusing at first, so play around with it until you're comfortable. It can find pretty much any word you type in, even rare-ish words that you don't hear in everyday conversation, like "phantasm."
Confusion Level: 2.5
Overall, I think it's a good bit of software and if you are just starting out, I suggest getting this one.

NOT VERY GOOD AT ALL! there are four discs, the only useful one is the first disc. it starts out by teaching you basic vocab...how to say bathroom, silverware, fruits, food items, how to tell time, colors, numbers and stuff like that. but then u put in the second disc and its speaking ENTIRELY in Japanese and it's impossible to understand whats going on or what youre supposed to do by just what you learned on the first disc. also there are interactive games to help u learn and remember, but the games are easy and repetitive and get boring fast! Not a good tool for learning Japanese...disappointing =(

If you're starting to learn Japanese, a feat to be applauded in itself, this is an amazing package. It's fun, interactive, and educational. Don't even think about trying to get a foot in the door without this. Books are great but to be able to see people pronounce the words with enthusiasm in correlation to the picture of the word is SO helpful and helps it stick amazingly well too. Another commenter posted that the games were worthless but they're only useless if your not focused on learning. This makes it so simple AND enjoyable, something I've never found with any other software out there. I was at first hesitant by the low price wondering how it could possibly deliver. BUY this as it's a steal and for the dedicated learner, a great way to start.
