Japanese can be one of the most daunting of foreign languages to learn for one an American English-first speaker. George Trombley, a professional corporate interpreter of Japanese for many years, and his Japanese wife, Yukari, developed their language learning series, Japanese From Zero to aid anyone who wishes to learn and appreciate this ancient, rich language.
The lessons and videos are intelligent, humorous and witty — a pleasure to watch and repeat. They begin explaining the three writing systems of Japanese and some of the pronunciation issues. Next, preliminary numbers and counting – clearly. The From Zero! Method is thorough and detailed!
It is obvious that Mr. Trombley worked in the hands-on environment of interpreting for many years. He offers an alive instructional approach. “Making mistakes is important in learning any foreign language. Most people are proud to help you learn their language and they appreciate your efforts and dedication to their mother tongue. A little bit of faith in them and you, goes a long way!”
