Beginning Japanese is a very unique, exciting and excellent textbook especially for young learners of Japanese. " — Eriko Sato, Assistant Professor Dept of Asian and Asian American Studies, Stony Brook University; The NECTFL Review: A Journal for K – 16+ Foreign Language Educators
"One of the newer textbooks in the intermediate space, and a little more lively perhaps than the integrated approach." —Japanesestudent.info blog
"Last year, I discovered the Beginning and Intermediate Japanese series by Kluemper. I changed textbooks immediately after experimenting with it for a week." —Kyler Jackson, Japanese Teacher, Thomas Jefferson High School
"It provides web-based and supplementary audio resources in addition to the textbook, which progressively give students more exposure to language a little beyond their expected level of attainment, and which immerse students in culturally authentic contexts." —Geoff Biesinger, AATJ Journal
