very good for learning Japanese as a whole, but what bothers me is the fact the mic doesn't work, the last lesson of simple Japanese, you have to talk into the mic for practice, I keep on tapping and sometimes trying to hold the mic over and over until my finger gets tired and it just doesn't record, makes it look like the mic button is just there for decoration.
