Title: "Getting Started" Took a Whole Semester
Product review: This book is poorly organized and gives little independent feedback. In our 100 level class we spent a whole semester just on the introductory section (some 80 pages long). These authors believe that you can't do a thing with Japanese until you've learned kana, but meanwhile they expose you to a myriad of other concepts without explaning anything. The glossary in the back is in kana also, making it impossible for the beginner to find anything.
