## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant.
*by B***R on 30 December 2014*

Love listening to the CD! Great to study the book, then listen to the audio cd and see how much you can understand. Fun to go through with lots to learn and enjoy.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars
*by A***R on 17 November 2016*

good quality!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent range of topics with audio
*by C***S on 10 May 2009*

This version of 'Read Real Japanese' far surpasses the previous, which has become somewhat outdated and used Romaji.The editor's advice to listen, read and listen, then read and pronounce, is commendable.The texts are wide-ranging, from lifestyle type columns to academic topics to contemporary issues.I had some reservations having purchased the earlier (same titled) version two years ago but highly recommend this replacement.The text should suit students who have achieved JLPT 3 onward. More advanced students (JLPT 2+) will find the readings easier but good practice. The audio is professional and almost at newsreader speed. Recommend ripping this to your favourite audio player codec and listening when commuting.Positive:- full audio provided (CD)- copious grammar notes- simultaneous facing translation- full Furigana provided (at first mention)- stimulating contemporary topics- true layout (vertical text)- no RomajiNegative:- relatively few essays- prefer the Giles Murray 'Read Real Japanese' layout (which has dictionary and basic grammar instructions at base of page not at back of book)
