Title: A Comprehensive Study Program
Product review: Armed with the information contained in this three-volume series, as well as quality instruction at a university, I spent 15 months in Japan and can honestly say that nothing contained in JSL was inaccurate. The dialogues were completely authentic, the numerous drill sections provide the necessary amount of accurate models, helping the learner to develop a sense of "what sounds appropriate" in Japanese. JSL treats Japanese language as a way of acting in Japanese society, enabling the learner to express him/herself in a way that is culturally acceptable. I cannot recommend this series enough- there is simply no better textbook out there. One word of advice: Use the tapes and videos religiously! You won't be disappointed.
