I was wondering if any of you guys have learned any Japanese from this book, enough to actually have a Japanese conversation with someone. I own this book and I was reading it for a few months but I just couldn't grasp any Japanese. I wanted to know, did you read the book and learn? Because if so, I'm going to give it another go, because I can't have an actual Japanese class until 9th grade and I'm only in 8th.

I didn't really learn anything new from that book because it didn't interest me. I prefer learning grammar structure and how to make/read sentences, rather than knowing how to book a flight, eat out at a restuarant, going to the hospital, find a job in Japanese etc.
Of course, it's just my personal prefrence but I don't really like studying Japanese in topics like that because they don't always explain how a paticular sentence structure is used outside of that topic.
But if you're learning Japanese so you can converse in it, then that book should be fine.

*nods in agreement*
If you're only traveling there for a week or so to sightsee, you'll only need a few set phrases, and basic knowledge of the grammar. For anything else, you'll need a whole lotr more than what that book (or other books of it's nature) can offer you.
