What do people think of this speed writing system? “The principles are very easy to follow, and I am already using it to take notes.” “BakerWrite is the easiest shorthand system I have come across. Having studied all the major shorthand systems and even other speed writing courses, I find BakerWrite a sheer delight.” “I will use this system all the time.” “Your system is so easy to learn and use.” Heather studied Pitman shorthand at school and then at secretarial college in England; she later learned Teeline shorthand and now regularly teaches these. BakerWriteTM is based on her experience with these systems and 22 years as a secretary and PA – taking notes daily. She has been training and coaching secretaries, PAs and administrators since 2000. Please note there is an alternative edition of this book, Easy 4 Me 2 Learn Speed Writing. Heather had over twenty years’ experience as a secretary and PA before setting up Baker Thompson Associates Limited in 2000. The company specializes in the training and development of secretarial and administrative staff, www.bakerthompsonassoc.co.uk She now travels all over the UK working with large and small companies to enable their office staff and PAs to work more effectively. She developed this speed writing system to fulfill a requirement by many companies for a quick and easy way for their employees to take notes. The course became very popular and she was often asked if there was a book with the basics of the system – so here it is! To contact Heather please visit the speedwriting section of the publishers’ website, http://www.UoLearn.com I am 51 years old and have been a secretary more or less since I left school. I took the requisite Pitmans shorthand course whilst at school and have never been able to understand it, all those squiggles and lines. I have used my own speed writing version of words through the years and have managed to get by (as long as I dealt with the notes as soon as I had written them and the dictator wasn’t too quick – so it was half memory and half being able to read my own shorthand version). But now, everything is so clear and makes complete sense. I take your book on the train every morning and even after the first reading it completely made sense and I could even remember most of what I had read in the first chapter and believe me my memory at retaining new info is not as it used to be. Even when I was reading your abbreviations I was able to see what they were in a lot of cases before I checked the meaning. I am thoroughly enjoying learning a new skill from a book that is so simple to understand and I have already started to implement my new dictionary of words when taking notes. A great big thank you for developing a system that is so easy to understand and completely workable and I looking forward to showing off my new skills when taking notes (which I will actually be able to understand) at the next board meeting.

This book contains everything you need to start speaking the Japanese language. It will show you how to say what you need to say in practical, conversational Japanese. You’ll learn useful words and expressions, acquire the basics of Japanese grammar, and get pointers about the life and culture of Japan and the Japanese people. As you read and practice the simple lessons, you’ll be able to use what you learn right way, and you will also build a foundation for more advanced study of this fascinating language.

While anyone can benefit from “Start Speaking Japanese Today,” this book is intended especially for you if you
* are visiting Japan, whether for travel, business, or study
* work or do business with Japanese people
* want to talk with Japanese friends or relatives in their own language
* are interested in manga, anime, or other aspects of Japan’s rich culture,
* just enjoy learning languages.

The words and sentence patterns presented in the book focus on everyday situations, from shopping and traveling to opening a bank account and visiting a Japanese home. Each short lesson begins with a simple sentence that can be used in such situations, and the rest of the lesson explains the grammar and vocabulary you need to say even more.

Short sample conversations are scattered through the text, and longer dialogues appear in the last ten lessons. Many of the lessons also contain pointers about aspects of Japanese that can cause problems for people learning the language.

The Appendices contain an introduction to the Japanese writing system, summaries of key grammatical points, and an outline of the audio accompaniment to the book. (You can download this audio for free from japanandstuff.com or gally.net.) And the Japanese-English and English-Japanese indices contain all of the vocabulary used in the book plus a topic index.

This book won’t tell you everything about the Japanese language–no single book can do that–but it will help you start speaking Japanese today.
