I think this one hits that sweet spot of serving as an all-encompassing main textbook. <b>--<i>Hangukdrama and Korean</i> blog</b><br><br>Last year, I discovered the Beginning and Intermediate Japanese series by Kluemper. I changed textbooks immediately after experimenting with it for a week. --<b>Kyler Jackson, Japanese Teacher, Thomas Jefferson High School</b><br><br>One of the newer textbooks in the intermediate space, and a little more lively perhaps than the integrated approach. --<b><i>Japanesestudent.info</i> blog</b><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Michael L.
