Nihongo Notes Vol. 1: Language and Culture
$ 25.50
$ 25.50
It's difficult to suggest a level for this book. Each article is written both in Japanese and in English (with romaji). So, definitely beginners could read and learn a lot, but I think the topics covered are more for the upper beginner level.
Using simple, but real-world conversations, the authors take one neglected--but certainly important--grammatical or cultural point.
As you can see with the scans, the right page is in Japanese and the left is in English with romaji. This is certainly nice if you have a Japanese tutor. Your tutor/teacher can read the Japanese and explain any nuance not mentioned in the book.

CLOSEOUT: Monthly Nihongo April 2005
$ 5.00
Recommended for Advanced
Back in the day, Nihongo Journal (along with the venerable Mangajin--requiescat in pace) was the magazine many Japanese learners were eager to snatch up at the newspaper stand before the one or two copies they stocked were gone.
Sadly, both passed on. Mangajin around 1998 and Nihongo Journal in 2005.
I asked my magazine supplier to send us the nearest equivalent: "Give me a magazine all about Japanese," I asked. Blinded by sadness, I accepted this one (Monthly Nihongo) without doing any research. Well, the magazine is indeed all about Japanese, but instead of learning Japanese, it is about teaching Japanese.
It is still very interesting--especially if you are in to linguistics. But the language is native-level Japanese and is not appropriate for anyone less than an advanced student. If you are such a student and you like learning about learning Japanese, this is definitely for you.

This book practices all parts of the JLPT N2 level. It includes two CDs for the listening section. This is a practice test book and not necessarily a study guide. It doesn't have a lot of explanation (it does have some hints), but it is great for determining your strengths and weaknesses and that will help you prepare for the test. The best thing is it will provide a lot of practice for you.
