What They're Saying
Critics Review
“One of the newer textbooks in the intermediate space, and a little more lively perhaps than the integrated approach.” – Japanesestudent.info blog
“One of the newer textbooks in the intermediate space, and a little more lively perhaps than the integrated approach.” –Japanesestudent.info blog“Last year, I discovered the Beginning and Intermediate Japanese series by Kluemper. I changed textbooks immediately after experimenting with it for a week.” –Kyler Jackson, Japanese Teacher, Thomas Jefferson High School“It provides web-based and supplementary audio resources in addition to the textbook, which progressively give students more exposure to language a little beyond their expected level of attainment, and which immerse students in culturally authentic contexts.” –Geoff Biesinger, AATJ Journal
