The shelf
15 books, one method.
Every one of these is built the same way: nothing is introduced until you have the vocabulary to use it, and the writing system arrives a few characters at a time instead of all at once on page one.
Japanese From Zero!
5 books
The five-volume course that starts at absolute zero and builds to advanced grammar, introducing hiragana, katakana and kanji progressively rather than all at once.
The Kana Books
3 books
Dedicated workbooks for the two Japanese syllabaries, for readers who want the writing systems on their own — hiragana and katakana separately, or both in one volume.
Kanji From Zero!
2 books
A structured path through the Japanese characters, built on the same progressive method as the main course.
Korean From Zero!
3 books
The From Zero! method applied to Korean, written with Korean linguist Reed Bullen and a team of native-speaking co-authors.
Hangul From Zero!
1 book
The Korean alphabet on its own, for readers who want to clear the writing system before starting the course — or who only came for hangul.
Spanish From Zero!
1 book
The From Zero! method carried into a fourth language, written with Hugo Canedo.
