Review of The Nihongo Journal by Rafael Santos

The Nihongo Journal, monthly magazine in English and Japanese, also available in Korean/Japanese and Chinese/Japanese. Features a cassete tape, sold separately, for 2060 yen. Published on the first of every month.

Japanese lessons divided into beginning, upper-beginning and intermediate levels, including grammar and usage notes, and kanji reviews. For almost all kanji, furigana is displayed. Also presents some topics on Japanese culture, news and lifestyle (in intermediate Japanese). Features some series like "Writing is Fun" and "Going up against the Japanese Language Proficiency Test". The cassete tape has some articles recorded, to practice listening. Overall, an excellent magazine for beginner and intermediate learning.
