Industry Reviews

This Japanese reader includes audio tracks of short conversations and Q/A sets, written in English and Japanese (Hiragana). Each chapters covers vocabulary for a particular rooms of the house (eg Kitchen, Dining Room) and everyday subjects (eg looking for a job, shopping, school). I've only listened to half the lessons, but plan to complete it when I have time. The vocals are clear and easy to follow. I would recommend it for advanced-beginners to intermediate. It would probably be too difficult for complete beginners, unless they are using another source to cover the basics.

I'm only a beginner (I've gotten rusty from disuse), but had no trouble along following the dialogue, and learned some new words. Overall, I found this a very useful addition to my study materials. Summary: Recommended for more advanced beginners of Japanese looking for a challenge or to expand their vocabulary.
