Hiragana, the Basics of Japanese [Paperback]

Great way to get started

I ordered the book, then discovered I could get the same content for free by getting other content. Downloading the pdf was great so i could have practice papers and not have to use the book. However the book is much smaller and easier to keep in my bag to study whenever I can. So much of the content in JapanShop relies on the ability to recognize basic words and sentences it only made sense to concentrate on Hiragana first then move on to others.
