This book is phenomenal for beginners and also intermediate students
I loved this book since I received it. Beautiful hard cover, high quality images and lots of words and phrases. Just one thing to highlight for new buyers, you will find many words or phrases using a combination of kana and kanji, do not expect the book to be wholly written in kana. But there’s the fun, you will learn the real life japanese, not the theoretical hiragana only.

Recommend for upper beginner or lower intermediate
This book is really good!! I like the outline, images and examples. AND it’s best suited for upper beginner or lower intermediate (around N5 and N4).I dont recommend to less than upper beginner because there are occasional mistakes in the writing/pronunciation they wont be able to spot (for example, on page 16 they swapped the eat and drink kanji). These should be no problem for upper beginner on. Plus, a beginner wouldnt be able to form sentences for full use of the material.I dont recommend to more advanced than lower intermediate because you will know must of the vocabulary already. This is what happened to me, so not that useful.

If your intetested in learning Japanese or already know few basic japanese, this is the book. The audio link doesnt work, but the book as such is very informative, colourful. It is extremely important to hear the Japanese pronunciations as it is very different. I used the google translator to hear the pronunciations. I hope the Audio book link could actually work.
