Title: What an awful text...
Review: This is crap I don't know how this would help the beginner student and the grammar and vocabulary it covers are ridiculously simple and simplified, once a certain level of Japanese knowledge has been reached this book becomes useless. The "Integrated Approach to Japanese" by the Japan Times that is a much better text for beginning-intermediate to beginner-advanced level students. THAT text is arranged in a useful way to refer to even after the student increases familiarity with the language.
