Initially bought the book beacuase it has MP3 which is a good idea so that I can learn Japanese when I am driving or doing something else.
After reading the book and listened to the recording, a lot of conversation have negative tones, sarcasm and criticism. For beginer learning Japanese, I don\’t think this book is appropriate, unless criticizing is main part of Japanese culture which I doubt that is the case. Most of the Japanese I met here in USA are actually very polite.
A better book, I think, should focus more on positive conversations which would work on most social settings. Appraise or complemnet always makes conversation much more pleasant.
