I like Nakama1. It's what we were using in school.

Woah, that book is high $$. Haha but I will look at buying it I will read some other reviews and might buy it. From what I have been reading about it I hear it is good.

I dont think you need a book that costs money.
I think you can lots of resources on the net,
some webs are especially for beginners like you.

I have a question for Retrogamer77,
What's that book called Nakama1, is it your textbook?

Yea, it's a textbook that we used in class last year. From all of the books I have seen I think Nakama does very well at explaining things. As far as internet resources I'm very cautious. I've been to sites and been able to point out things that are wrong, even as only a first year student! My sensei laughed when I showed her. :p

I printed out the Hiragana chart from Wikipedia, and would memorize, write, and read for about a week at a summer camp. I know them all rather well now. Haven't had time to learn all the Katakana yet.

i used internet to learn them, the good thing about it is that some sites alow u to see how to write them since they have animations, i think its better than a book that way, of course u can do both.

I am currently learning Kanji, I already pretty much memorized hiragana.

I would just print out some sheets. It's how I learned.
Hiragana and Katakana are easy to learn, you shouldn't need to spend a dime learning them.

Yea, If you're just going for learning the Kana and Kanji then there's probably no need to buy a book. You can look it up online anywhere. The only reason I have a book is because I studied in class.
