  <abstract>Teach yourself Japanese in just 12 weeks with this fun, user-friendly, and uniquely visual language course.

DK’s 15-Minute Japanese is the perfect course for busy people who want to learn Japanese fast. Twelve themed chapters are broken down into easy-to-follow 15-minute daily lessons, spanning a range of practical themes, including leisure, business, food and drink, travel, and shopping.

Each lesson combines vocabulary and grammar essentials with attractive full-color images, making it quick, easy, and fun to learn new Japanese vocabulary. There is no writing or homework – you simply use the cover flaps to hide the answers to exercises and test yourself as you learn. Each chapter ends with a review module, so you can track your progress and identify areas where you need further practice.

The course includes a free audio app that enables you to hear Japanese words and phrases spoken by native speakers. Use the app alongside the book’s easy-to-use pronunciation guides to perfect your pronunciation and practice Japanese conversation in real-life situations. Whether you’re a complete beginner or just in need of a refresher course, there’s no easier way to learn Japanese than with 15-Minute Japanese .</abstract>
