This is quite helpful

I’m happy with how they grouped the topics and how the sentence petters progress. My concern is the japanese narrator pronounces “g” sound as “ng” sound which is confusing for the listener specially if he/she’s not yet familiar with the right pronunciations.

For those who uses this as supplemental review and are quite already familiar with the right pronunciation, it’s quite helpful.

This is the classic 9 CD set converted for Audible

Having tried a variety of learning Japanese methods, including Eurotalk, Transparent Language, Rosetta Stone, Pimsleur, college classes, and immersion in Japan, I can say that while immersion in Japan is far superior to all other options, this 9 CD set, with it's accompanying reading material, was one of the best options ever made for learning Japanese. That said, this conversion for Audible is not the same quality as the original CDs, which is most evident in certain sound transitions that seem slurred. Nevertheless, if you're learning Japanese and can't make it to Japan and you don't know 9 CDs worth of Japanese, then this should be in your library.

Not user friendly at all.

What was most disappointing about Henry N. Raymond’s story?

It just starts randomly without giving the listener any idea into what he/she is going to expect and how to approach the book - especially considering that it is meant to teach someone a new language. This is probably one of the worst ways to learn a new language.

I'm going to return the book.
