❝I have studied Japanese more than 30 years ago. However, I did not practice it over the years. I found this advertised on my Facebook and got curious about it and I purchased it since it's not very expensive. I did not regret purchasing it as I felt that the materials are easy to understand and would be good to help me refresh on the language.❞ - William | Singapore
