Course materials – Giapponese in 30 Giorni (Italian edition of Berlitz/Langenscheidt Japanese in 30 Days), a pencil, a wad of post-its to fill the handbook with annotations. MP3 Reader for listening practice.
First lesson.
A handful of pages: Hiragana & Katakana, how to pronounce Japanese, the dread long vowels…
So far so good.
