In a previous post, I was praising Pimsleur Japanese as a good introduction to the language. I also noted that while 3 parts of ~30 lessons each are quite long, you are still left as a beginner japanese student. I’ve been looking for an audio “class” replacement for my daily commute, and am happy to report that I have found an excellent one. JapanesePod101.com is the website. I actually stumbled upon them a few months ago, but for some reason didn’t trust it.
