Title: Outdated
Product review: This series either needs an update or to be replaced with a more comprehensive system. While JSL has excellent explanations of Japanese grammar, the entire book is printed in romaji, it has vocabulary that is no longer in use, and the order in which the book teaches words is ridiculous. Furthermore, the romaji itself is a system used only by JSL. If you are lucky enough to get a teacher who understands how to teach from JSL and a small enough class it can be a great book, but it is not for self-study and it needs to be phased out of college classes and favor of something more up to date.
