4.0 out of 5 stars If you are only going to get one Japanese text, get this one, 30 Jun 1999
By A Customer
I discovered this book when it was used in a beginning Japanese language course at the local county college. I travel back and forth to Japan a lot and missed classes sometimes. I had the book with me most of the time, and almost everyone I talk to in Japan recognizes the book as a popular text for teaching Japanese to foreigners. What I like most about the book is that I didn't have any trouble keeping up with the occasional missed class, because the book is so self-explanatory. You can work through the lessons on your own and get almost as much out of it as you do from the class.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must-buy book, 1 May 2005
By A Customer
This book is fundamental for all those who are keen on learning Japanese. The title might seem confusing, but don't worry: this book does not concentrate only on business issues, but gives an introduction into Japanese culture more than anything else. Even though sometimes it includes vocabulary that isn't really necessary at this stage - things like "contractor", or "supplier" - it is a great book. It is not recommendable to buy this book without having first studied the first volume, on which this book is based on. Beware though that this second volume is much harder than the first one. It is all written in kana and it does therefore take much longer to read. Also, each of its 20 lessons introduces a lot of new vocabulary and new grammar rules, so it's not always easy to go through them. However, even though sometimes frustration can come up, the book manages to keep a feasable pace, without giving the reader an information overload.
I strongly recommend to buy also the Workbook in addition to this book, as they both complete each other in an excellent way.
Buy this book if you are serious in learning Japanese. There is no real alternative to it I believe.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great course, but there's a new edition now, 16 Aug 2008
By Greshon (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
Excellent Japanese language learning book. Amazon keeps prompting me to review this, otherwise I wouldn't have, as there's a new edition out now. The good thing about the new edition is that it comes with an audio CD. With this edition, only the workbook had a CD. The CD covers all the target dialogues and other dialogues. It's a bit dull compred with the likes of, say, Japanese101 Pod (highly recommended), but I think it's beneficial to listen over and over again to the dialogues nevertheless.

I really like the methodolody behind this course. It's a buisness Japanese course but is very much grammar-based. Very well thought-out and organised, and it deserves a lot of praise.

I wouldn't recommed tackling this text alone, but if you go to langauge classes with this as the text and study it alongside a great audio product like the lessons and lesson support from Japanese101 Pod, and a more 'fun', casual Japanese book like Japanese the Manga Way, you should be able to learn quite effectively.
