Now, a decade after its first revision, the entire series is being redesigned, updated and consolidated to meet the needs of 21st-century students and businesspeople who want to learn natural, spoken Japanese as effectively as possible in a limited amount of time.

Moreover, it now comes with a CD containing audio for the dialogues and listening exercises from the text.

In addition, the book features notes on Japanese culture intended to expand the learner's understanding of Japan, its customs and people.
