5.0 out of 5 starsReview from a University Trained Japanese Student
By Eric Nakashima on March 12, 2011
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I would like to start by commenting on Samuel Leiter's comment. One thing I have to stress is that many "self-taught" Japanese language learners often misjudge their skill level. He commented it's mostly for advanced people but he is sadly mistaken. I have been studying for four years at the University of Irvine, and I can verify this is for Intermediate to Advance. I have to be clear though it is [UPPER] intermediate to advanced. If you are someone who just progressed from beginner to intermediate, do not buy this textbook. If you are at the upper intermediate level than you should be able to read a textbook with the bare minimum of English. This textbook has enough English to explain the grammar, but it assumes you are able to read the beginner to intermediate kanji and vocabulary.You will not find romaji or furigana readings. A good way to know if you are ready for this textbook (if you are a self-study student)is by taking the JLPT (Japanese language proficiency test)N3 and passing it. The previous commenter disagrees with the elimination of most English in the textbook, however the way I see it a student should be able to understand this level of Japanese in the first place. The explanations are fairly straight forward and easy to understand despite the fact that it is in all Japanese. If you are a self-taught person please don't let your ego get to you and gauge your Japanese level properly. The reason this book doesn't repeat dialog is because you can always just replay the track on the cd, and you should be able to understand the sentences at one go if you think you are fluent enough in Japanese to consider yourself (upper) intermediate to advanced.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsGood for authentic learning
By Graeme on May 10, 2015
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Solid instructional text, however it covers immersion style teaching through content rather than a focus on memorising vocabulary. I am currently studying in preparation for further study abroad in Japan and have found this to be a helpful resource. I would also recommend most Japanese texts by the Japan Times as they are often reliable, flexible and practical.
