Minna no nihongo: Speak Japanese: the best methods

It is the method most taught in all language schools .
Japanese is a syllabary language whose words come from Chinese -especially Kanji- and whose sounds are close to the Spanish language: for example, the vowels are pronounced as in Spanish.
There are different manuals that allow you to become familiar with syllables, consonants, grammar rules (verbs, pronouns, adjectives) and the rules regarding respect (add “gozaimasu” ).
It is very well done and you can learn on your own, at home, at your own pace to progress quickly.
Do you want to say that Japan is a beautiful country? Simply say kawaii: (か わ い い).
The only but is that the use of this method implies knowing the kanji before starting, so it is necessary to already have an intermediate level.
