Title: May I suggest Another Book?
Review: I used this book for Japanese 1 and had to retake Japanese 1 in San Diego because I wasn't up to par with the Japanese 2 students. Key in the ISBN #0-8248-0881-9, Learn Japanese: New College Text Volume II; of couse the Volume I is also avaliable. I used both volumes and plan to goto the third. NTC's book was OK to satisfy the foriegn language requirement, but I wouldn't use it if I were planning on speaking Japanese or planning on taking Japanese at another school, my instructor was native Japanese and disliked it more than I. The price is totally unacceptable! Learn Japanese: New College Text is $12 at Amazon.Com, and I speak Japanese with confidence; where as NTC's Basic Japanese is $53, and I was being corrected, and ultimately had to retake Japanese 1 because of the lack of Kanji, vocabulary, and sentence structure knowledge. This is 100% my opion, and not Amazon.com's.
