    My parents asked me what I wanted for christmas .. now me being 23 would normally tell them nothing(and they buy me stuff anyway) but this year id like to pick up a japanese language learning textbook or two so im looking for recommendations. Im pretty much “done” with textfugu (Im still studying all the vocab and such) so my skill level is about wherever that puts me… i also have picked up various grammar topics and other things from non fugu sources so im probably a bit past fugu you could say. This doesnt mean I would need something exactly at my level basically what im lookin for a solid textbook or textbook series (I love ones with workbooks :D) that I can pick up and take with me thats gonna give me that more formal approach that Ive been lookin for. Not that i dislike how textfugu works its just I feel i need that angle as well.

    So any recommendations?

    Japanese Sentence Patterns for Effective Communication is the best book I have seen by far.

    Brilliant… everything in that topic is helpful… I think we need a sticky or something for that haha… Ill have to think about RTK though. Ive known about it for quite some time but its methods seem off to me… alot of my kanji learning has been something ive done entirely by myself.. basically whenever I see a kanji that i see all the time or a word i see all the time i look up tons of words that use it that seem useful and put them in my own anki deck.. so Im probably learning kanji all out of order and such but at least I remember them and learn a bunch of new words at the same time..

    I’ve been using Nakama and Japanese for Busy People (the latter of which is mentioned on Tofugu’s resources page). I couldn’t really saythat they’re the BEST EVAR!! textbooks, because they’re the only ones I’ve had exposure to, but I’ve been finding them pretty useful.
