Human Japanese by Brak Software (2008, Bilingual, Compact Disc)

Human Japanese is software for Windows PCs that presents the Japanese language from square one in a warm, engaging tone. It packs more than 1,800 recordings of vocabulary words and example sentences, an instantly searchable dictionary for vocabulary words and grammar terms, and dozens of interactive reviews. While other products focus on memorizing vocabulary, Human Japanese draws the student into the real mechanics of the language, while maintaining a warm tone and a sense of humor. The goal of Human Japanese is not just to turn out students capable of repeating canned phrases, but to lay the foundation for real linguistic and cultural understanding.
