Unfortunately I was turned off by the cover art and for too long ignored this superb "From Zero" series for Japanese-language self-learners. I've started working with Japanese lesson books, tapes, CD's, etc., a number of times over the years and always quit in exasperation. Not this time. This is terrific! Progress is fast and as close to painless as you'll ever get in studying the language.
The thing is, I've already lived in Japan for a number of years, long enough to know that if you really want to learn the language, not just street talk, you've got to do it with a holistic approach. That is, take on the whole ball of wax at once: spoken, written, read. Start like a tyke and work your way up. Don't be too proud. There are excellent university and language school immersion programs that do that with great results, but this is the first I've encountered that makes it practical for the at-home learner who has to go it alone or with a little help from friends or spouse.
In short, the Trombley/Takenaka system REALLY WORKS! It's the best money I've ever spent for studying Japanese. Take it from a guy who has to use the language every day and has been embarrassed for too long by his inept サバイバル日本語.

I was a complete beginner when I first started this book, only knowing hiragana and katakana before hand which this book helped reinforce. I also worked on Genki 1 and writing Kanji while going through JFZ1. I also watched his videos on YouTube as I went through each chapter and used Duolingo every morning for at least 30 minutes minimum. A lot of people don’t like Duolingo but I find it really reinforces the information and has even helped me complete the chapters in the book.
Luckily, I found a few Japanese people on YouTube who I really like watching and they also helped reinforce the information by hearing them say the words you learn in the book.
The channel is: ぶりちゃんねる (burichanneru)
If you like Jujutsu Kaisen, they voice act as the characters.
I wouldn’t recommend using this book as your only resource though. I would get information from other sites/places while working in this book as well as immersing yourself in the language through music, tv, movies, etc. (If you’re serious about learning).
Time: I started this book at the very beginning of august. It took me a little over two months to complete but that was dedicating hours of my day to work in the book. I worked on it every day. Obviously it’ll take more time to complete if you don’t have as much free time.
I personally like this book a lot more than Genki as that book is too fast and doesn’t give as much information as this one does. The slow, progressive teaching seems to work a lot better than just being thrown in.
I also bought the second JFZ because of how much I enjoyed this one and plan on purchasing 3 and Kanji from zero once I complete JFZ2.
CONS: there has been a few cons and downsides to learning this progressively.
1.I’m too hard on myself and found myself frustrated that I still couldn’t express myself in Japanese, even after completion. I realize it’s highly unrealistic to get that far in only a few months.
2. There’s no audio or anything to hear the words and how they’re pronounced by native speakers. Although the pronunciation is quite straightforward and I did find natives through YouTube, it’s still a little frustrating if you’re just starting out, I still feel insecure about speaking but that’ll work itself out over time.
If you’re an auditory learner, I suggest recording yourself speaking and play it back.
Also, I highly recommend journaling and marking your progress. It’s very exciting going back and reading your notes and seeing how far you’ve come. Don’t focus on the outcome though or get stuck on how much progress you’re making/not making. Focus on what you’re learning/have learned and really enjoy the process. Remind yourself why you’re learning this language and understand learning a language is a lifelong journey :). Even your native one.
Again, I highly, highly recommend this book. It makes the learning fun and enjoyable :).
Edit:
I love how George and Yukari added culture clips and talk about important facts. Very appreciated!
