Why buy this book? - By: K. Farmer, 07 Nov 2008 
I purchased this book on the basis of the 15 excellent reviews it already had on Amazon as I was having difficulty learning hiragana; I was simply drawing the characters over & over. Having read a general introduction the book began with "these are the first ten characters, draw them out until you know them then do the following exercise... I didn't need a whole book to tell me that, it seemed to make the rest of the book irrelevant so why read any further?
Simple workbook...... unbelieveable results! - By: P. O' Donovan, 08 Jul 2008 
This has to be the best learning tool ANYONE can use when attempting to learn Hiragana. I have just started to learn Japanese & felt it important to learn both Hiragana & Katakana. Over the past week I have been using this for about an hour a day & have already attained near fluencyin Hiragana.....PAINLESSLY!
Seriously I have just worked through each page & am astounded with the results! I felt it would take months of dilligent study to remember the "countless" Hiragana, but the brilliantly structured approach & clever excercises made it SO easy I just had to share my feelings. While only half way thorough the book I was SO impressed I decided to purchase both the "Let's Learn Katakana" & "Let's Learn Kanji" from the same series.
I hope this review will help anybody wondering whether to purchase this or not.... please do if you want results FAST!
Sugoi (great) learning material - By: Fergus Leahy, 28 Feb 2008 I bought this book hoping to learn hirigana over a month, but i was quickly proved wrong as the book made the process easy, fun & very quick to learn & I was finishedin about 2 weeks. This book is really worth the money if you are willing to putin the time, then rewards reaped are bountiful. Everything from stroke order to what kind of stroke is shown making the process easier to follow rather than throwing you into the deep end with no help. I have also bought the katakana version & attempting to learn that too.
I really do recommend any budding person trying to learn the Japanese language to start with hirigana using this book. I hope you enjoy the book as much as I have.
The Best Book I've Come Across For Learning Hiragana - By: Stephen Budd, 02 Jan 2008 This has to be by far the best book that I have found for learning to read & write Hiragana. Many other books out there just show charts & guides - but they don't teach it to you, or have special exercises laid out.
With this book & as little as 20 minutes a day, I have been able to go from being able to read absolutely no Hiragana, to virtually anything now writtenin Hiraganain just a week & a half.
I would recommend this book wholeheartedly to anyone wishing to learn Hiragana as you can learn it confidently & competatively, solely with this book.
To anyone who buys this book I hope you find as useful as I have,
Ganbatte!
Amazing - By: Ms. D. Lee, 12 Oct 2007 I've always wanted to learn Japanese, not just speaking, but writing as well. I finished this book a little while ago, & just recently finished the Katakana workbook too. It's put me at a great advantage for college!
I would seriously recommend this book to anyone
