Okay, I also reviewed the Vol 1 of this series and I gave it a 5 star review, and it really deserve it. Now this book has the same excelent quality, structure of the other. But it is still aimed to bussiness men with a lot of language that you don't use daily as a tourist or a student. I like that finally the teach Kanjis but not enough, from 2000 you only get aprox. 100. Also, it teaches formal japanese that you don't use with friends. If you have access to a teacher this may be fine, but for people trying to teach thereselves is a drawback.
