Situational Functional Japanese series
Three volumes, each consisting of a book of notes, a book of exercises, and a set of tapes, give you the Japanese that you need to function in certain situations such as at the dentist or the post office.

Claims to teach the reading of the kanji "taught" in the first book. Gives one compound word and a tiny amount of other information - it seems completely ridiculous to buy this expensive book since any kanji dictionary, in fact any other kanji learning book, does better.
