Sold Student Audiocassettes Part A to accompany Yookoso!

Rating:
Summary: A solid book, but try to get the new edition.
Review: The Yookoso text is an good system for learning in a classroom setting at the college level. The tapes used in conjunction with the texts can be quite helpful. However, I would suggest you try to find the newer edition of the Yookoso books and tapes. On their own the tapes are not very helpful, and if you intend on purchasing them you should be- 1.learning in a classroom and 2. be prepared to buy the text. Yookoso focuses on language structure and the writing systems, so excellent for learning how to read and write Nihongo. But, if you are trying to learn conversational Japanese, you should look elsewhere.
