Japanese for College Students

Summary: Excellent Combination of Kanji and Grammar Learning
Review: Having worked with Volume 1 I already was familiar with the outline of this book. I am a beginners student of Japanese at Tel Aviv University. We study one chapter a week in the book which is quite a moderate tempo but that is about as much as I feel comfortable to grasp per week. The book is divided into exercises based on the grammar in the chapter and it is explained in comprehensible English. There are reading exercises and each chapter also has a kanji section that covers about 10 new kanjis for writing. I have not bought the audio tapes coming with the books yet but have been highly recommended since they are an excellent complement and ensure proper pronounciation and a comfortable method to review the material covered in the chapter.
