JFZ is excellent. People complaining that it's too slow have way too many needs. No book will be at the perfect pace for you, and imagine if there were such a book, do you think it would be perfect for everyone else? Language books are like hand grenades: close enough is good enough. That said, if you simply take three days to learn hiragana, you can learn it just as thoroughly as going through all of JFZ book 1. The same goes for katakana and Book 2 of JFZ. However, you're getting more than just hiragana and katakana in books 1 and 2, so it might still be worth your time going through both books. And let's not forget, as you say, that Trumbley has a great KZbin channnel that will help keep you interested and explain even more. Good review.

oficially in love

I have genkie minna no nihongo and JFZ. genki is objectively the worst one. JFZ is the best. minna is second but damn does it move quickly.

The video is good, but I can hear constant beeping whenever there’s talking. I can’t finish the video

Are you still studying Japanese language?

Nice review. I found out about these books through internet video of book author. This book is not the only one, there are other more advance series too. I was really not sure if these were the best resources. But this book series look very attractive. I might order all of these books, just need to see a complete review of all the books.

Thanks

Thank you so much for giving us this book review its help me so much😄

❤❤❤❤Your channel is literally my comfort place. You make me so happy. Love you 🤗❤

Hi 👐 Good vídeo. It looks like a good book for absolute begginers like me. Oh and I love your look. Have a good day.

Can u plzz scan and send me the pages from 387 to the last page..plzz i don't have it..😭

ありがとう

Just started Japanese/kanji from zero a few months ago and I love it. Most other books, like you said about genki, were too academic. This is a great series and I can't wait to get to book 2 and 3

Does it have a CD which is good for listening? And it doesn't include all intermediate grammar?

I downloaded a bunch of pdfs of different language books and Genki and the others came off very overwhelmingl for me too as a self studier. JF0 looked way more accessible to me and the youtube video accompaniment a real plus. I started 8 months ago and I started book 3 a few weeks ago. I like the slow introduction of hiragana but I think its a little slower than needed. You finish hiragana by the end of the book and I was really proficient with them at least half way through. But thats not a big deal for me. I already know about 300 kanji and when I do the exercises I use the kanji I know.

I am a fan of this book but i also became a fan of you sis 👍 thank you very much for the review 👍☺️

thanks, good feedback.I ordered the book last week so looking forward to it!! :)

Hi miss Study Berry I enjoyed your video I am on JFZ 5 and I use George's videos on YT. however could you give some advice even YT videos for listening/speaking practice, this is something that is missing from all of these study books the audio that comes with them is purely based on the text and not natural language practice

I started off with Genki in college many years ago, then recently I started to study Japanese again. I went with the whole JFZ (Japan From Zero) set and currently on book 4. My opinions so far is that the book is fun and easy to read. I would study a lesson a day (usually 12-13 chapters per book) and I’d say it’s very beginner friendly. I would highly recommend the set to beginners especially those who are self-studying. FYI: It’s slow at first, but if you are patient, you will get there. Also, there are some errors, but there is a pdf file that someone made that corrects the mistakes. I recently purchased Genki 1 and 2 hoping to gain more advanced and/or a different lesson approach, so I kinda went backwards haha. I lowkey have an addiction on collecting Japanese books to read and study lol

Subscribed. 구독합니다. I like your video.

I love this video. Very helpful.

Love you from Nepal 🇳🇵 I love Korea and Korean culture so I want to know about Korthe ean language.

Does this book teach you colors and numbers?

Wow - what a good review. Nice , thorough job!

TQ Good afternoon from Malaysia.I am starting Mandarin Chinese.Maybe it takes time to be okay in the language.Step by step

I really need the audio of the book to give me. I'm from Bangladesh. Email: [email protected]

OMG!!! I have been waiting forever for someone else to say what I have been thinking about Genki! Definitely taking your recommendation and purchasing the JFZ books. Thanks for showing the examples. Great and thorough video.

I love this series. Im towards the end of book 5 now🤍

For someone who already memorized hiragana and can read/pronounce do you think the book would move too slow or is it still worth the investment? (Sorry I didn’t see this was already answered in another comment thank you)

I got JFZ Kanji & love it! Unfortunately i got 2 other books which aren't as good- (not JFZ) ans I regret it so much 😭😭 will have to wait 3 months to get JFZ 1 😭😭

My phone is already in a full volume but I can't still barely here you

Is it better than how to study korean dot com website? Please tell me because currently I’m studying from HTSK only and i find it nice but i wanna know if im lacking

I use TTMIK too! I'm currently at level 3. Hoping to get to level 4 next year.

뭐야 이 귀요미는 한국어좀 하면 국뽕코인좀 타겟는데

Thanks for the video! I wonder which of the beginner or intermediate book I should buy, because I study Korean since some times, but I don't know if my level is enough for the intermediate book and maybe the beginner book is too easy. What should I know to be able to use the intermediate book?

is kana from zero good too?

We are the same with Genki. I was overwhelmed. So I bought that Japanese from zero 1. Waiting for it to arrive. I hope its really good.😊

I really like Japanese From Zero:)

ありがとうございます

Thank you so much! Good luck with your channel :)
