Tuttle Japanese for Kids Flash Cards Kit: [Includes 64 Flash Cards, Audio CD, Wall Chart & Learning Guide] (Tuttle Flash Cards) Cards – September 1, 2008

I'm working on learning the basics again and my son has started to join me. This was a very neat buy it's practical and helpful

My son loves going through these cards and started learning his colors the same day we received them! I like that they are thick and glossy and therefore sturdier than plain flashcards because he's really rough on them sometimes and we've only had to repair minor tears on a couple of them. I will definitely buy the more advanced version once he's mastered these.

Bought for an 8 year old to review and reinforce Japanese vocabulary skills. She enjoys the flash cards very much. They are sturdy and the box storage is nice. The poster is bigger than I expected and shows all the same words that are on the cards. We haven’t tried the disk out yet, not sure if we will.

I ordered this set for my mother who had a stroke. Vocalization of language skills are slow to come back. Flashcards are a great way to know if she talking gibberish or if it's a word in Japanese. Although she was English-literate, she was raised by a Japanese grandmother pre-WWII, so her words are coming to her in Japanese and she doesn't even realize it. With this Flashcards, I am learning the Japanese spelling and pronounciation, as well as usage in sentences of this basic vocabulary.

I love it!I really loved the pictures and the sentences in the back they're helpful. Thanks!But I wish if they had more cards so I can learn more.

Chart is really big but kids like it! The flash cards are nice and we haven't yet used the CDROM. The vocab is super basic. Familial names, numbers, etc., but great for starting out!!

They are very simple, however, they mix Kanji and Kana together. I don't find it particularly bothersome but I would have liked if the word was not written in romaji in the front. I love the poster and the flashcards themselves are sturdy and fairly large. Plus the CD has about four song which are absolutely fun!!. I will definitely buy the second box.

I bought this set for my 3 1/2 year old daughter who spent six months in a Japanese preschool while I was in Japan working. I have no complaints about the flash cards themselves, especially for children learning Japanese. It also comes with a poster with the vocab words that might be nice hanging in a kids room.I didn't buy it for the CD, but we've been playing the CD in the car. My daughter enjoys the Japanese preschool songs found around track 17, but there are only 3 or 4 of them and the rest of it is mind-numbingly slow and irritating pronunciation of Japanese vocabulary words. The CD is designed for people with little or no understanding of the Japanese alphabet so first they read each word syl-la-ble by syl-la-ble and then read the word at a more normal speed. For people who knows Japanese or people who are familiar with the alphabet, or even for anyone who has a decent ear, the recitation will make you want to scratch out your eardrums. There should at MINIMUM be a way to fast-forward through the I-rri-ta-ti-n-gu pro-nu-n-ci-a-tio-n. In my opinion they should skip that part entirely and just do a reasonable reading of the word and then say the English. My daughter has low patience for the vocab reading and wants me to play the song portion. The songs are ones she learned in preschool so she enjoys that. They are irritating for an adult listener because the quality is poor and the children (while adorable) are not, um, especially musical.
