Drive Time: Japanese: Learn Japanese While You Drive [Abridged][Audiobook][Unabridged] Review
I had taught myself reasonable gaijin Japanese years ago, to the point of being able to carry on a reasonable conversation. I used Drive Time Japanese to refresh my memory and language skills before a recent trip to Japan. The 4 CDs are easy to listen to and provided a useful review. I also learned some expressions and vocabulary that came in handy.
The course could be better organized for typical daily activities. I’m also not sure how much someone completely new to Japanese would really learn. OTOH for the price how wrong can you go?
Some other reviewers have criticized the lack of instruction in reading and writing. Hello, guys, this is, like, “Drive Time Japanese”? It’s to listen to while you, uh, drive? You don’t want to be reviewing your katakana while changing lanes!!

Three additional CDs contain 18 lessons that cover all of the essentials-vocabulary, pronunciation, grammar, and basic conversation.
