Title: Japanese: The Spoken Language, Part III (Yale Language Series) by Eleanor Harz Jorden, Mari Noda ISBN: 0-300-04191-8 Publisher: Yale University Press Pub. Date: 01 August, 1990 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $28.00 |

Summary: Okay but not great
Comment: At this level of study not having kana and kanji is an absurd blunder. The only way to get the non-romanized versions of the text is to buy a very ugly teacher's edition of the core conversations and drills, which themselves become a bit too much like brute memorization here.
This book is great for polishing your knowledge and tiny grammar subtleties, but something extra is needed in order to prepare yourself for making your own sentances, not ones you memorize from a book. (This could be provided by say, a teacher)
So in this sense, a book more geared towards self-learning and adaptation would be the second half of the Yookoso series, Yookoso: A Continuation of Contemporary Japanese. This book is JSL2,3 and JWL2+more combined into one.
Rating: 5
Summary: Superior conclusion of 3-volume text series.
Comment: J.S.L.III, like the preceding two volumes, is designed for learners seeking a thorough foundation in the culturally-appropriate use of Japanese by foreigners (i.e., non-native Japanese) in Japan. In its examples and exercises, it uses authentic "real life" Japanese rather than the artificially contrived sentences so often found in foreign language texts. This text series is definitely not for the casual language dabbler.

Summary: Chemistry Professor At It Again
Comment: How to resolve the twin conflicts this third book of the series presents? While on one hand it is chock-full of appropriate and useful information for intermediate students of the Japanese language (as are the other two volumes in the series), its explanation of the intricacies of the language read like passages from a third-year collegiate chemistry text. Buyer beware-- there are better books out there.
