Review of Comprehending Technical Japanese by an anonymous reviewer

Like Basic Technical Japanese but intended for those that have taken 1-2 years of Japanese.

This is the pioneering technical Japanese textbook which introduced the concept of tightly focusing Japanese language study for scientists and engineers. It assumes at least 1-year of previous Japanese study (HIRAGANA, KATAKANA, and some grammar) and then presents the 500 most frequently found KANJI in technical Japanese literature. While still a useful text, the newer text Basic Technical Japanese can be considered a replacement for Comprehending Technical Japanese. Although BTJ begins from zero Japanese knowledge, it ends at substantially the same level as the end of CTJ.
