Customer Reviews
Read what other Japanese learners have to say about Japanese From Zero! 2
Excellent progression from JFZ1. Grammar gets more complex but explanations remain clear and accessible. Love the companion videos!
George Trombley makes complex grammar understandable. The exercises are practical and the cultural notes add great context.
Good continuation but the jump in difficulty from book 1 is noticeable. Still manageable with consistent practice.
