The lessons and techniques used in this book have been taught successfully for over fifteen years in classrooms throughout the world. Hiragana From Zero! is perfect for current students of Japanese as well as absolute beginners.
This was an excellent and much needed review of my Hirigana. I found that I still have some of the same problems with similar characters.
I love that the author provides the different formats for the Hirigana as I have difficulty with that. I also like how there is no 'back' of the book for the answers and are given right after each lesson.
I also now have a whole host of new and some old but still need to practice vocabulary. I'm hoping I can copy the pages of the 'practice' sections so that I can practice many, many times. :)

I finished Japanese from Zero 1 before consolidating Hiragana with this book. If I would have used it alone, I am not sure what I would have thought. Nonetheless, it is a good consolidation book - and I suspect that it is all you need in order to learn Hiragana well. Lots of words can be learned by the end and like the textbook, it is reader friendly.
