Title: Complete in substance, not in format
Review: This little box does indeed contain every datum necessary to speak japanese well. However, all the audio material is placed on two audio cassettes without any repetition. That's the only way to put this much material on two cassettes. I recommend digitizing the tapes, breaking the recordings up into the forty individual lessons, and practicing them repetitively one by one. In that form, there is a lot to be gained from this set. I wish the included dictionary were more literal in its sense of word translation. The great thing about this set is that it is complete at so small a price.If price is not an issue, I suggest Pimsleur for learning competence in a language, but I'm glad I bought this set, just to begin with.
