Book Description

4770021119 978-4770021113 March 15, 1995
How can the Japanese for Busy People series help you learn Japanese?
Japanese for Busy People is, as the title suggests, a concise course for 'busy' students who want to learn natural, spoken Japanese as effectively as possible in a limited amount of time. Three main texts - Japanese for Busy People I, Japanese for Busy People II, and Japanese for Busy People Ill - with related workbooks, cassette tapes, ODs, teacher's manuals, and videos make up this fully integrated three-level series. At each level, enough vocabulary and grammar has been provided to enable the learner to communicate in uncomplicated adult language without having to memorize excessive amounts of vocabulary and language patterns that are not immediately useful. All components of the Japanese for Busy People series have been prepared under the guidance of a working group of experienced Japanese language instructors who reviewed and tested the material in an authentic classroom environment.
Japanese for Busy People II: The Workbook is the ideal resource for any student who wishes to improve speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills in Japanese. This collection of exercises and activities has been developed to provide practice for sentence patterns presented in both the Revised Edition and Kana Version of Japanese for Busy People Il. The workbook can be used both in the classroom as a supplement for introducing or reviewing lessons, and outside the classroom for homework and review. When coordinated with the exercises and quizzes in the main textbook, this workbook should enable learners to improve their command of basic Japanese in a relatively short time.'

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Complement to the Workbook, August 23, 2005
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Japanese for Busy People II: Workbook Tapes (Japanese for Busy People Series) (Pt.2) (Audio Cassette)
To pronounce Japanese well, it is important to repeatedly hear a native speaker. These tapes re-enforce the workbook lessons.

JFBP is a great series that really benefits from the multiple components. e.g.

1 The book
2 The CDs for the book
3 The workbook
4 The tapes for the workbook
5 The video
Each component re-enforces the other.

While I really like this series, you will need to find a way to deal with two short comings.
1) They never tell you the rules for verb conjugation. They only tell you to memorize. You will need another resource for this.
2) There is a lot of vocabulary, but no drilling method provided. You will need to do some flashcard drilling to really remember these. Don't forget to review old lessons.

All and all a great series. However, Pimsleur is still my favorite. Pimsleur is only audio, so is quite limited compared to JFBP, but their educational method is superb.

Good luck with your studies.
