I bought this book for an Introductory Japanese course I am taking. Usually the earlier edition of a textbook suffices, but in this case there is a lot missing from the 1st Edition. The 2nd Edition has about 40 extra pages of activities as well as some updated content. This book should be good enough for self study if supplemented with more current resources, but if you are purchasing this for a class you should go for the 2nd Edition.
This book will teach you everything you need to know about learning Japanese language. The samples and practice sheets are excellent in trying to learn a new language. I would highly recommend this book for learning Japanese in the proper format.

I've used this book before for my college level course of Japanese, but any one who even isn't in college could still use this book and learn Japanese very well because unlike many others, this describes to you all the grammar points and gives you examples in how to use them. Also adds very help full charts. I'd recommend that any one wanting to learn Japanese that they use this one first.
As a student, I wish my professor had chosen this book for our course. This book has more knowledge needed for anyone learning the language. I highly recommend this book!!!
Good stuff
