Review of Rii to Kuraku no Bouken (The Adventures of Lee and Clark) by Ken DeLong

Level: Intermediate Conversational (suggested after An Introduction to Modern Japanese). The tapes focus on conversational Japanese. They include sample conversations in the form of an ongoing mystery story involving Lee and Clark, as well as drills for the new grammatical constructions and patterns. The accompanying book has complete transcriptions of all the material on the tapes, as well as excellent explanations of the grammar and usage styles of the conversations. The book is entirely in Japanese (NO ROMAJI) except for English translations of some vocabulary words. All explanations are in Japanese. The recorded material is interesting, funny, and original, a real pleasure to listen to and work with. Very highly recommended.
