Nihongo wo benkyou shimasho !

The book we needed ! A very good complement to Japanese for busy people I & II. What I like ? It is very close to real life. It's a pleasure to study. In French, I dare say : "c'est mon livre de chevet" !

one of the best textbooks available

We're using Genki II in our 4th semester class but I do have this at home as a reference and totally happy with it. The CD conversations are faster paced and more relevant to adult life than Genki. So these CDS prepare you better for JLPT listening comprehension than Genki. I would use this in conjuction with the "Teach Yourself" series for maximum effect.

Excellent relevant up-to-date lessons with CD

CD that came with this book and a different CD for the work book are both well made. Some language CD can drone-on-and-on. This is fun to listen to. The speaking speed seems to be normal conversation speed (not slowed-down for beginners), for this is Book 3 in the series. I play the CD's in the car, over and over, if I did not get what they are saying the 1st time I let the CD continue, I will get more of it next time, eventually, I understood all that was said. The workbook that goes with this text is excellent as well, better get the set. Exceelent as text in a classroom or for people doing self-studies. Efficient, effective and enjoyable. The topics are not that interesting to kids. So for the teen-age and younger students, the Japanese for Young people series are better suited.
