The living language course provides a book with clear explanations, a dictionary and a CD (or cassette) featuring native Japanese speakers who demonstrate correct phrasing and pronounciation. The book and CD are well integrated. Clear explanations of basic sentence structure and usage are provided. The course only teaches spoken Japanese. The course relies heavily on phrase construction (as opposed to sentence construction) which is acceptable because spoken Japanese makes heavy use of phrases. The course is high quality, but should be combined with other teaching materials which provide conversational dialog such as the AMR Japanese Module 1 series. The two work together well.
