I had almost forgotten to review this item, but after awhile, I've been able to get to it. This item was shipped safely to my home as I barely saw any dents on the packaging and the product itself was in perfect condition. I love using these flash cards on my free time and it has helped me a lot on my journey to learning the Japanese language. Knowing your alphabets are important and I believe that this will be a great product to start your interests in the Japanese language.
