This book will help you teach yourself the writing and reading of all 46 characters each of Japanese hiragana and katakana syllabary from memory. By making use of a method of "imaginative memory," introduced in this book, you will be saved from the order of repetition. Following the method, you will be able to write and read all Japanese Kana in three hours and retain them by means of the incredible mnemonic methods. Instructions at the bottom of each page will ask you to skip backwards and forwards through the book, following the best "learning order." The lessons will guide you step by step through this process. As an added bonus, the book includes a supplement on "Learning How to Remember."

    In the vicissitudes of my growing up I learned the Hiragana at age 9 while in the fourth grade. When I returned to the Japanese language as an adult most of the hiragana came back to me with little effort. However, they did not stick in my mind from year to year, as I sporadically pursued Japanese when time allowed. This book cured that problem. I did not use Hiesig's mnemonics for most of the kana, but for a few his method was invaluable. The silliness of them is actually what makes them so memorable.

    I did not learn the Katakana as a child, but as an adult I have found them easy to master using this book. The katakana are simpler in form than the hiragana, but are not necessarily easier to remember. I found the mnemonics for "ma", "nu", and "yu" especially helpful.

    Hiesig explains the little poem learned by all Japanese children to memorize the "dictionary" order of the kana: "a ka sa ta na, ha ma ya ra wa - n!" This rolls off the tongue for Japanese kids as easily as the "abc's", and gives you the top syllable in each column of the grid, which you then fill in with the appropriate vowel: "a i u e o". This has always been a big help to me, and is worth taking the trouble to learn, childish as it may seem.

    I titled this review "priceless" not for the mnemonic method of learning the syllabaries, which obviously doesn't work for everyone, but for the two memory methods given in the supplementary section to the Katakana book. These are the "Solitaire Game" and the "Learning Box", based on work by Sebastian Leitner on spaced repetition. They are the most useful learning devices I have ever used and I have had LOTS of experience memorizing unconnected information over the years. I only wish I had come across these two methods years ago. In addition to having used them to learn the kana, I have now started using them to supplement Hiesig's method for the Kanji, which are now finally embedding themselves in my memory.

    This book is also a good reference for the origins and various forms of the kana. I highly recommend it to anyone studying the Japanese language. It will save hours and hours of frustration.

    5つ星のうち5.0 Crazy, useful book

    First off, this taught me the kana in one rush, when the more "normal" methods of memorization and familiarization weren't working. Why so good? Partly pictorial association. But just as importantly, picking apart the kana and giving pieces (wierd but memorable) names. What was an unnameable, unmemorable squiggle becomes a sword, the seven dwarfs, or a puppy dog's tail. It's surprising how much easier it is to tell kana apart when you can recognise them piecewise.
    Second, what an odd, yet cool book design! Kana are presented in their proper alphabetic order for reference, and you progress through lessons hopping forward and back to seemingly random pages, following for each lesson a trail laid down with directions like "now go to page 21". I found this concentrated my mind during the lesson. I was lost in the wilderness of kana and the only way out was through!
    Also cool, the book covers hiragana and katakana, and they both start on page 1, without overlap. How? Flip the hiragana book head-over-heels about its middle, and you're faced with the katakana book, printed on what was "at the back and upside down" of the other. This is fun! Pure genius.

    5つ星のうち4.0 A great book, but you really, really don't need it! (6-months on)

    I was recommended this specific book by various people that learnt Japanese well, so I figured I'd get it too. It is a very good book, very cleanly laid out, easy to read, easy to understand, and provides the kana in different fonts to help you recognise them more easily in real life too.
    HOWEVER,
    6 months on, you quickly realise that it was a waste of money, and shows nothing that you couldn't do yourself or online if you really, really need the aid. The basis of the entire book is to show you a new symbol from the kana per page, and give you a small story or meme to remember it by. However, for 80% of the symbols, I ended up using a meme I made for myself because it made more sense in my weird brain, and therefore stuck more easily into memory.
    So my advice to you, if you are serious about learning this, which will only take around 2 weeks, tops.... get a sheet of Hiragana and Katakana (Google), and focus on each character one by one, figuring out a good meme to remember them by. Then do a bit of spaced repetitive learning on them, and done! If you really need the aid and the reminder to do your studying, go on Memrise.com, and find the course dedicated to Hiragana, and the course of Katakana. Learn Hiragana first, as well as you can, then move on to Katakana.

    5つ星のうち5.0 So close to perfect!!

    But obviously close enough to warrant a "perfect" rating.
    While I could easily chime in with the other 5-stars, let me tell you what this book lacks.
    During the Hiragana, not much time is spent on the plosive and voiced mark. You'll probably figure them out mid-way through the Katakana section, but still, he could have put more effort into explaining them, even just in an appendix.
    Also, while he gives you a great device to help you understand the order words appear in a Japanese dictionary, he doesn't explain it all that well. You'll need to fumble around a little in a Japanese dictionary to figure it out.
    Also, for some reason, in the katakana section, he occassionally assumes you know some basic kanji. Why this would be the case when most readers have just finished hiragana, I don't know. But you can get through it all right anyway, trust me. I don't know any kanji, and I'm doing all right (katakana seems easier than hiragana, actually).
    And finally, and most importantly, NOTHING is said about dipthongs. What are dipthongs? Well, I myself haven't quite figured it out yet, although I'm on the right track (a small "ya" written to the right and down of "chi," for instance, makes it into "cha"--confusing, right?). Anyway, how hard would it have been to have a little apendix on that? It really warrants a lesson in and of itself, but all he says is something like "all you've got left to learn are dipthongs, which you'll find in the introductory pages of any Japanese grammar book". Um, like which grammar book? I bought this one to teach me.
    Anyway, these quibbles can't outweigh my love and enthusiasm for this book. I really works, I SWEAR to you. I can read hiragana, and I've had the book for a week! 30 minutes a day and a little more practice is all it takes. If you have the dedication, this book will help you do it, no doubt about it.
    Once you're done here, just move on to Heisig's excellent series of "Remembering the Kanji" (Vol-1 is basic Kanji, Vol-2 is pronounciation of those kanji, more kanji, and some grammar, Vol-3 is advanced stuff). This track is definitely the wisest choice, as it will prepare you well, and you could easily be fluent in under a year if you work at it every day with him.
    If you just want a jump-start into the language after learning hiragana/katakana (but PLEASE learn that first), then try Japanese for Busy People (Kana Version). But Heisig's route really is best, as unorthodox as it might seem at first.
    To sum up: get this book. And avoid romanji, in all its forms, at ALL COSTS. It will only hinder you if you truly want fluency in reading/writing and speaking Japanese.

    5つ星のうち4.0 Learn your kana
    2006年11月9日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済み

    I studied Japanese in college about 6-7 years ago, and started taking it again this September. Somehow, I still remembered about 90% of the hiragana and katakana, but I was not confident about the kana that I forgot, so I decided to get this book after reading favorable reviews for it on Amazon.

    The traditional way to learn the kana (at least when I was in college) is to learn them in order (a,i,u,e,o,ka,ki,ku, etc.) and simply write each one multiple times. Some people respond to this kind of learning; others don't.

    This book takes a different approach and provides imagery in the form of funny or strange sentences about the look of the kana so that it sticks in your memory. The author does *not* draw pictures on top of the kana like some college texts that I've seen; he simply provides weird/funny comments, stories, and/or keywords that comment on the look and sound of the kana, which help the kana "stick" in your mind.

    The recommended way to read this book is to start with the hiragana, and learn about 5 per day. Then, after you've mastered the hiragana, move on the katakana section.

    The hiragana section was written really well, with the format described above. However, it seems the katakana section was rushed and was not as creative, which is why I give it four stars instead of five.

    Overall, I found the book to be very helpful in learning the kana, and would highly recommend it to students of Japanese, both new and old.
